Webinar: Rotary Ground Force Training

Human movement is based on generating and leveraging energy from the ground. Through contractions of our muscles, we produce kinetic energy resulting in human movement. While ground reaction forces are necessary for human movement, understanding that all human movement is dependent upon rotation is important. Rotation is required for all basic physical tasks including brushing your teeth, walking the dog, driving your car etc. Furthermore, sporting activities on every level use ground reaction force to generate kinetic energy to move and rotate the body based on the demands of each individual sport.

In this webinar, you will learn the concepts of rotary ground force training and “locking” the upper kinetic chain, how and when to select the best equipment options and how to integrate exercises that will enhance ROM and core muscular engagement. You will learn proper exercise techniques for foundational exercises using a wide range of equipment and be able to select the best equipment option based on the goal of the exercise. Learn coaching and cueing tips that you can utilize in your overall programming.

Learning Objectives
1. Understand why rotation, specifically thoracic rotation, is important for all individuals.
2. Describe the concept of “locking” the upper kinetic chain to enhance isolation of the thoracic spine and function of the hips and core musculature.
3. Integrate spinal (thoracic) rotation effectively into your clients’ programming.
