EXOS PERFORMANCE SPECIALIST CERTIFICATION
STUDY GUIDE WITH ALREADY ANSWERED
QUESTIONS
Evaluation Components
1. Athlete/Client Interview
2. Nutrition Evaluation
3. Movement Quality
4. Strength-Power Qualities
5. Speed Qualities
6. Energy Systems Development
Nervous System
- coordinate movement through muscle recruitment
- manage movement based on sensory feedback
- use innate patterns to begin and develop movement (ex: survival movement)
- habitual movement develops patterns unique to every person's movement
signature
Kinetic Linking
force creation (hips) --> force transfer (trunk to extremities) = optimal performance
and injury prevention
more force = more velocity
hips --> trunk --> shoulders --> arms
Pillar Prep
- based off individual needs
- determined through screening process
,Functional Movement Screen
- used to determine mobility, stability, or movement deficits
Training System Components
1. Pillar Prep
2. Movement Prep
3. Plyometrics
4. Movement Skills
5. Medicine Ball
6. Strength-Power
7. Energy Systems Development
8. Regeneration
Pillar
hips, torso, shoulders
Pillar Strength
blend mobility and stability to the hips, torso, and shoulders
- absorb load and transfer from one limb to another (conduct force)
Primary Functions of the Pillar
Mobility, stability, breathing
Pillar Hardware
musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, ligaments, muscles)
Stability Joints
shoulder/scapula
lumbar spine
knee
, foot
5 Structures of the Pillar
shoulder/scapula
thoracic spine
lumbar spine
pelvis
hips
muscles that connect them all
Pillar Software
nervous system
Mobility Joints
thoracic spine
hips
ankle
Method
a procedure, technique, or single way of doing something
Systems
a coordinated body of methods
Mission Statement
Provide the finest performance systems, specialists, and facilities seamlessly
integrated to efficiently and ethically enhance our athlete's performance
Goals
Improve performance, decrease injuries, motivate through education, produce
results
System Pillars
mindset, nutrition, movement, recovery
