Basic Movement Patterns
Basic exercise movement patterns are exercise classifications that are the foundations of exercise selection.
Strength & Conditioning is the practical application of exercise prescription in order to improve the physical performance of athletes. For example, it focuses on strength and power training, aerobic and anaerobic development, movement quality, and speed enhancement.
As the world of strength and conditioning is very complex, our aim is to simplify the science so that coaches, athletes, and everybody else can understand how to use these training methods in order to optimise sports performance.
