Demonstration should include strength-assessment options (e.g., one-rep max, muscle grading, dynamometer, pinch meter), as well as the following techniques used for strengthening:
- Free weights
- Stationary weights
- Resistance bands
- Repetitive movement
- Functional exercise
- Resistive putty
- Aquatics
- Group exercise
- Isometrics
Description should also address adaptive strengthening options for people with disabilities.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How do concentric, eccentric, and isometric contractions differ?
- What is a progressive resistance exercise routine?
- What are the benefits of strength training in a therapeutic setting?
