Exercise 1 Course Objectives

2-Day Course

• Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of developmental kinesiology.
• Describe the relationship between development during the first year of life and dysfunction of the locomotor system in adulthood.
• Discuss and demonstrate the basis of human movement: support, stepping forward, the biomechanics of motor function, the verticalization process & functional joint centration in postural development.
• Evaluate and correct poor respiratory patterns.    
• Assess the integrated stabilizing system of the spine both visually and utilizing dynamic functional tests.
• Apply corrective exercises derived from the DNS functional tests and developmental positions in supine, prone, low kneeling, oblique sit, and quadruped global movements.
• Illustrate how DNS corrective exercises can be effectively combined with other exercise strategies, enhancing the participants’ repertoire.
• Optimally prepare participants for the next level of training (Exercise 2)
