Screening, Testing, & Assessing: What Really Matters
As professionals, we understand the importance of screening, testing and assessing our clients and athletes prior to having them engage in physical activity. However, with all the different tests available to us, we should have an appreciation of what is truly important. It can be overwhelming to decipher not only which test or screen to perform, but also analyze what the data actually means. During this lecture, Lee will provide insight into how to determine what really matters. He will focus on previously collected data and research to offer solutions for what is important based on the population, goals and environment. This hands-on session will feature some of the most effective exercise solutions based on standard screening and testing results.
