Life-Time sports in the New Back School
Machine-assisted strength training represents a specialized form of strength training. Unlike free weight training, only guided machines are used here. The range of motion and direction of movement are predetermined, leaving little room for error.
Machine-assisted strength training is ideal for beginners in strength sports, but also bodybuilders or rehab patients can benefit from the equipment. For individuals with back pain, this type of training offers the opportunity to work on target muscles in isolation without the risk of compensatory movements.
Participants learn the correct technique for performing all exercises on the machines, are confronted with the most common errors, and are able to train their clients effectively on the machines after completing the course.
In the fall prevention unit, measures are introduced to reduce the risk of falls and positively influence gait, posture, coordination, and strength. Sensory disturbances often arise in individuals with back pain due to nerve compression, significantly increasing the risk of falls. Participants also learn tests to assess fall risk and the methodical development of various training focuses in fall prevention.
