Following up from the Program Design rip here: this is the advanced version.*****NOTE*****1) I only seed evening (UK) time2) I will upload 1 DVD each time until there are enough seeders to take over, then I will move to the next DVD3) Please DO NOT share this outside of elib or I will stop uploading the rest so you will ruin it for all (and yourself) if you do4) I can’t upload the manual that goes with this as I don’t have the facilities so please don’t ask**************Info from Chek site:Quote:There is NO rush grading available with this course!ACE 1.5, NATA 21.0, NASM 1.0, NSCA 1, ISSA 16.0, ACSM 1.5, Fitness Australia 13, REPS NZ 30, BCRPA 15.0Learn to design the world’s most effective corrective and performance exercise programs in this empowering course. Based upon Paul’s two-day seminar, Advanced Program Design will stretch your mind to reach beyond the usual components that make up an average program. You will learn: Paul Chek’s “Primal Movement Pattern Assessment TM ”system for biomechanical assessment and exercise selection A comprehensive system for rating core conditioning requirements How to rate and prioritize bio-motor abilities How to periodize a program based on exercise and medical history. Having covered these seldom considered, but critical aspects of program design, you will learn to build base and specific conditioning programs for everyone from the injured worker to elite athletes. This course is intended for the experienced exercise and rehabilitation professional with a serious desire to develop the best possible conditioning programs. We recommend that you have completed Program Design – Choosing Reps, Sets, Loads, Tempo and Rest Periods by seminar or correspondence course before taking this course. A thorough understanding of acute exercise variables will be assumed.Frequently Asked QuestionsDo I have to complete the Program Design course first? Although it is highly recommended that you first complete Program Design before purchasing Advanced Program Design, there is no specific order one must follow when completing these courses. It is important to note however, that this course requires the purchaser to write two (2) complete exercise programs not only utilizing the principles learned in this course, but principles such as reps, sets, loads, tempos and rest periods taught in the Program Design Correspondence Course. Therefore we strongly recommend that Program Design is completed prior to Advanced Program Design to help ensure a passing score on the test.How long will it take to complete? C.H.E.K Institute recommendation – 15 hoursThis is dependent on the person taking the course and the reasons they are taking it. Some people only needing Continuing Education Credits will watch the videos once through and successfully pass the test. Other people who are more interested in learning the information or are interested in taking it as a prerequisite for Level II of the C.H.E.K Certification Program will sometimes watch the DVDs 2-3 times through. Given that there are over 8 hours of DVD in this course, it will take at least this long to complete. All this being said, we recommend that people spend 15 hours studying the course materials before taking the test.What are the major differences in Program Design and Advanced Program Design? Program Design focuses on the specifics of exercises variables (i.e. reps, rest periods, tempos, sets) whereas Advanced Program Design concentrates on how creating an entire exercise program based on an individual’s needs and goals. Program Design is about using scientifically applied variables to fine tune exercises and Advanced Program Design focuses on using scientifically applied principles to create and modify entire exercise programs.Review (has more info):Quote:Advanced Program Design Correspondence CourseThe course consists of, 7 videos and manual (with exam). The approximate run time of all the videos is close to 8-½ hrs (allow extra time to get through the manual.) It is vital before you do this course that you do Program Design first.Tape 1 The first tape begins with Paul over viewing the course topics.The first topic is on Base Conditioning and how to correctly design this segment, this is a very complex area and Paul covers these in depth and will surprise you with some very interesting issues and information.Program adherence is a key to achieving great results, and Paul will give you a great series of tips to get the best from them.Paul shares with you a report sheet he has designed to enable assessment of core needs for the work environment, to allow you to design programs on a needs analysis basis.This is a very useful chart to use on a regular basis.Tape 2The second tape continues with the topic of Posture, this is a very in depth area, if you have seen Paul’s other courses, a lot of this will be familiar, but there is still more to absorb.Next Paul shows you some very effective assessments for flexibility; it is quick, easy and gives a lot information.Continuing on, he gets into identifying the training age of the athlete and then how it affects the program to be administered. This is all a continuation of the base conditioning program design information.Needs analysis is the next topic covered, again this is covered in a lot of detail and Paul will make you think even more about conditioning programming.He also suggests different methods for testing so you can get a better idea of what is required for your client.Tape 3This tape continues with the subject of Bio-Motor Abilities and the assessment of them. This is still a very in-depth area that Paul is covering and you begin to realise how important these forms of assessment are in designing programs.Energy systems are next on the list of topics covered; this is covered in sufficient detail to enable a good understanding of these systems and how they relate to Program Design.This includes the amount of aerobic training and strength training that we often do, often we do too much aerobic training and not enough strength training to maximize performance.Training kids for strength is also a topic Paul covers with some interesting information that will have you thinking about training kids for performance.Paul then goes into the machine debate and exposes a lot of different ideas and information that will have you thinking about using machines over free weights, particularly about caloric consumption of the two different modalities.Exercise selection is one of the most important topics covered in this series and Paul will go into a lot of information so listen closely and think about what is being said.The system Paul shows you is simple and very effective, so take notes as well as read the manual.The topic of primal movement patterns is initiated in the closing period of this tape. Paul begins with some basic explanations to begin the understanding process of this vital topic.Tape 4This tape continues with the Primal Movement Patterns. Paul begins by explaining how we have developed these patterns and how it affects the designing of programs in relation to human function.These patterns are Twist Pull Lunge Bend Squat PushThis is a very extensive topic with a lot of examples to learn from to get a comprehensive understanding. This will definitely have you thinking about how we have in the past regarding exercise selection and prescription.The second half of tape 4 covers more of analysis where examples of designing programs taking into consideration all the points learnt so far in the course. Plenty of other very useful information is also shared.Paul also discusses the point of ascending and descending of exercises to make it possible for the client to achieve correct function, then shows you again how machines are non beneficial for most human movements. This is a very extensive area of learning.Tape 5This one begins with analyzing case histories in greater detail.Corrective stretching is covered as a vital part of correct corrective exercise programming, The program prioritizing Paul recommends is following: Corrective stretching Corrective exercises Strength training Skill training and time issuesFrom here, the case histories are covered, these are within the manual, and the first one is Harry Backpain. This case is covered step by step to show you the practicalities of how to do correct programming.All the information you require is given to you and explained what to look for in the case details.Tape 6Paul continues with the case study analysis, and then gives you and example of the program for the case study of Harry Backpain. This is an important component to understanding the correct designing of programs to make them more suitable for real, everyday environments. Paul discusses a lot about synchronicity of muscular training for optimal function of the clients neuromuscular system. Then he progresses into the form principle for correct sets, reps and loads for maintaining optimal adaptation to the program. This is a process where by the theory you are learning is explained and verified and demonstrated in a practical way.                                                                         Tape 7  The final tape starts with the specificity phase and expands in detail about this topic. This is a very thorough topic so you need to listen carefully as Paul goes through a lot of information quite rapidly.This is one of the most information intensive of all the tapes because at this point you should be able to understand a lot of this and use it affectively.Late competitive/ specificity stage of programming is next on the list covered. Tapering is covered and is very interesting to learn about, this is not only just about athletes but for people generally. Further topics covered are: Rehabilitation concerns, this has some interesting subtopics, like “surrounding the dragon”, a method of treating the issue not the symptom. Overlapping fitness, this is a very interesting topic worth a great deal of attention so as you can make the most of the information Progressive variation, this again is very comprehensive as a lot of information is covered in detail Maximum tissue tolerance, this is very relevant to injuries and recovery, but also for maximizing athletic performance. Pattern overload, this is a common issue that Paul covers and brings to your attention. Patient education is vital to all the information you have learned, because without this, their retention and results will be significantly effected.Right throughout this entire series Paul will give you so many different points and valuable pieces of information.Most of what Paul discusses is in many ways, logical and common sense but we dont appear to be doing things on a daily basis. This is a very comprehensive series of videos and lectures, this is a vital course to do if you are truly interested in optimizing your training programs for your clients and athletes. So invest in your future and your knowledge base to improve your results significantly, this will then increase your effectiveness and ultimately your success.
