Thought Process
Dynamic Warm-Up
-It is essential to warm-up the body before beginning any workout. The goal of a warm-up is to prepare the body (and the mind) for the activity that is to follow. The warm-up should include activities that will increase blood flow and muscle/core temperature and should include movements similar to those that will be performed during the workout or competition.
Pre-hab
-Preventing injury is key to athletic performance. A great way to prevent injury is to incorporate exercises into a workout that will strengthen the stabilizing muscles to areas that are prone to injury.
Multijoint Exercises
-Multijoint exercises should be done before other lifts because they require more skill and concentration, which means that fatigue will affect them more than single-joint exercises.
Assistance Exercises
-Assistance exercises are used to isolate specific muscles and require less skill and muscle control to maintain proper technique than multijoint exercises, therefore they should follow multijoint exercises.
Flexibility
-Static stretches should be performed postworkout while muscle temperature is still increased. The warm muscle temperature allows for increased elastic properties of muscles, resulting in greater ROM.
Applying the Template to Various Scenarios
A. 50 Baseball Players; 90 Minutes; FAU Facilities; Upper Body Day
-Group Warm-Up
-2 Groups - Fielders/Pitchers
-Pre-hab and Main Lifts will be done on the Power Racks in 6 groups of 6 and 2 groups of 7
-Incorporating supersets into the assistance exercises will help prevent traffic congestion
-Stretching can be done individually in the weight room
B. Men's Basketball and Cross Country workout at the same time and both are on Lower Body days.
-Group Warm-Up
-Divide the teams among the 8 power racks for Pre-hab
-For the Main Lifts, I would choose different lifts for the Cross Country team than for the Basketball Team. Cross Country is primarily an endurance sport and Basketball is primarily a strength and power sport. Obviously both sports require elements of each type of training, however these are primarily where the focus lies. I would have the Cross Country team use the Leg Press and perform Dumbbell Deadlifts instead of the Hang Clean Progression and Overhead Squat on this day for the sake of time efficiency.
-Hurdles would be set up in a straight line and the athletes could go through the hurdles one after the other. Stretch on their own or as a group.
Good job with your template! How would you use the template with both scenarios on the assignment?
