DNS – Strength Training Course – Part 3
Course Goals and Description
What is DNS-Strength Training 3? DNS-ST3 is all about mastery and integration of the DNS concepts to strength training. We will cover the concepts taught in both DNS ST1 and DNS ST2, but will
emphasize integration. While in the previous two courses the DNS exercises were taught separately from the strength training movements, in DNS ST3, attendees will learn to blend DNS exercises and assessments with strength training movements. They will be taught how to assess an athlete’s movement quality with a traditional strength training exercise and then how to choose the appropriate DNS assessment. From here, they will then be trained how to select the optimal DNS corrective exercise to improve the quality with which the athlete executes the strength training movement.
We will also cover how to properly program strength training utilizing DNS principles.
Who is eligible to take this course? All attendees must have successfully completed both DNS ST1 and DNS ST2. No other DNS courses will substitute for DNS ST1 or DNS ST2.
Objectives:
- Review concepts covered in DNS ST1 and DNS ST2.
- Teach attendees how to seamlessly blend traditional strength training movements with DNS
- corrective exercises.
- Teach attendees how to program properly utilizing DNS concepts.
Goals:
- Improve attendees’ understanding of stabilization.
- Improve attendees’ understanding of proper foot loading.
- Teach attendees how to program utilizing DNS principles.
- Teach attendees how to seamlessly integrate DNS assessments & correctives with strength
- training movements.
