Design should include
- stabilization
- muscular endurance
- hypertrophy
- maximal strength
- power.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How do the acute training variables differ with respect to each of the phases?
- What is the relative percent intensity for a client beginning the stabilization phase, the strength endurance phase, and the hypertrophy phase?
- What are specific exercises for each phase of the exercise program?
- How can you modify specific exercises for progression or regression of the exercise program?
