Strength And Functional Bag Instructor Qualification

Course review:

In essence bag training training unlike traditional weight training equipment utilises the movement and instability within the system itself to create an element of unpredictability during lifting. This design feature forces the stabilising muscles to accommodate to shifts in weight during the course of the movement. This helps to make bag training more effective than many training approaches towards improving performance in real world situations be they sporting or otherwise. We know the effects of training are fairly specific to the movements trained, and where outside of a gym do you lift a perfectly balanced piece of apparatus by its centre of balance?

What is covered on the course

• Power movements to include diagonal and rotational moves.
• Complex movement based exercises, all multi-joint in nature and all requiring a high emphasis on stability.
• Movement drills, such as fast feet, ladder drills, heel flicks etc.
• Jumps, which are difficult to achieve resisted due to awkwardness of bars.
• Drops, difficult to achieve resisted due to awkwardness of bars.
• Throws, difficult to do with most systems other than medicine balls which rarely exceed more than 15kg.
• Dynamic movements with a partner, throw..catch..move..throw..catch
• Pure resisted core stability movements.
• Complex training to mix skills drills or game plays with dynamic work using bags. Your training or playing area also becomes your gym, whether pitch, court trackside or home. So whether your sport is Rugby, Football, Squash, Tennis or Hockey, your conditioning training can now become an integral part of your skills based training.
• Rehabilitation exercises, combining multi-joint movements and the development of functional movements under varying levels of resistance.
