Exw 214 Lab 2
Introduction/Lab Description
This lab is meant as an introduction to properly instructing individual stretches. (40 points)
Objectives 1. Identify the joint movements and muscles being stretched during a variety of stretches. 2. Describe and demonstrate proper technique (e.g. range of motion, body positioning,) for a variety of generally safe and effective stretches to enhance flexibility. 3. Demonstrate the ability to teach common stretches using proper directions, cueing, and modifications. 4. Identify common stretching technique errors.
Materials
To complete this lab, the student(s) will need the following materials: 1. Lab description handout (this form you are reading) 2. Science of Flexibility textbook
Methods 1. Before coming to the lab, please read: * Appendix (pgs. 283-298 of textbook – Science of Flexibility) and have a general understanding of basic stretching technique guidelines.
2. Come to lab prepared to be physically active—dress appropriately for flexibility activities. 3. During the lab session pay close attention and make notes about the following criteria for movement analysis: * Muscles being stretched during individual stretches * Proper body positioning * Proper ROM * Intensity of effort * Identify the joint / plane of movement * Proper spotting techniques * Injury potential for client; modifications necessary * Cueing techniques (verbal & non verbal) * Practical applications of the stretches and variations * Use proper terminology about joint movements (e.g. flexion, abduction, etc.). Review your Anatomy & Flexibility of Upper & Lower Body Lectures.
4. For this lab you will work in pairs. * Teaching * Each team member will serve in the role of a “health fitness professional” and a “client”. Switch between stretches. When in the role of a health fitness professional you are
