Training Elements

Training Elements

This is where the truth gets converted to a plan. Just like a sport coach has their own principles, they also create a game plan with the important elements that they feel effect success. In our planning, it's the same! We start with your unique Blueprint to establish goals, vision, assessment and evaluation. For more information check out the Training Blueprint Page.  With your Blueprint in hand, we then move forward to creating your Training Plan. Below are the elements that we use to guide us. 

1. 3D MAPS (Property of Gray Institute) is our "the" tool to assess your movement ability, reveal limitations and potential sources of pain.
 
2.​ Building Block components of Performance Training guide us in creating our workouts.
3. To help with design and balance we incorporate a strategy called 4Q (Property of IOM) ​

1. 3D MAPS Assessment

​In order to go where we want to go, we have to know where we are! The best place to get started is the 3D MAPS Video Assessment utilizing Spark Motion Software. 3D MAPS is the best assessment tool to analyze how the human body moves. Like the name says, we evaluate movement mobility and stability in all 3 planes of motion, sagittal, frontal and transverse. In simpler terms, movement that is front to back, side to side and rotational.  The video allows us to capture and assess all of the 66 chain reaction movements throughout the entire body! ​We look at everything from nose to toes because that is how our bodies work!

3. 4Q Model

The 4Q Neuro-Mechanical Model (property of Institute of Motion) is a guide to aid in program design. The quadrants divide exercise into loaded versus unloaded training and linear versus movement training. Variability is such an important component in a complete training program and 4Q allows us to prescribe the appropriate amount of the 8 building blocks. Below is a list of exercises for each quadrant.
