Last Friday, the same clients came in. One athlete is in rehab because he had knee surgery back in November. He comes in every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to do his rehab workout. He has to do a number of exercises to build up the muscles in his knee. I had to work with him on his weight exercises because Nicki was meeting with a potential client, and Rocky was out of town on business. This was the first time I had ever worked with him before because he's normally with Nicki or Rocky.
They did the warm-up that Brian and I told them to do. For the most part we weren't very busy. The first hour wasn't busy at all. There were three kids, two did treadmill workouts and one did a plyometrics workout. It was my job to run the plyo and the girl did great. She listened to what I was telling her to do. She kept her knees bent, her hips square, feet even and shoulder-width apart. She's been through the program before in the past so she knew what she was supposed to be doing.
I learned how to read the results of a post-test and compare it to the pre-test. A pre-test is given to see how athletic a client is ir isn't. A post test is given when the athlete completes the twenty sessions and this basically tells us how much progress the athlete made. I take the pre-test and compare it side by side to the post-test. You subtract the old results from the knew results and that gives you a number. You then subtract that number from 100% and that is the athletes percent increase in athletic ability.
There are a lot of clients who go through Tekulve Acceleration Training to make their knees stronger. The different exercises work different parts of the knee to help strengthen those muscles that they need in order to walk, go up and down stairs, and even play sports.
