Programming for Resistance Training | Exercise Selection | CSCS Chapter 17

Exercise selection is one of the most important components of any resistance training program. You'll need to consider the biomechanical and physiological components that you identified in the needs analysis, as well as the athlete's proficiency and training age.

Dr. Jacob Goodin is a professor of kinesiology at Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU), and holds a PhD in Sport Physiology and Performance from East Tennessee State University. He has over a decade of experience as a strength and conditioning coach and sport scientist from the high school to NCAA Division I levels. In addition to his role as a professor and research mentor, Dr. Goodin directs the Athlete Monitoring Initiative at PLNU, which provides testing and monitoring services to over 200 athletes yearly as well as research opportunities for kinesiology students.

Exercise selection is so important for every different type of athlete and making sure that is an exercise that the athlete will really benefit from is so important.

[jackmalone]

I really like the recommendation of breaking down what the requirements of a sport are and then looking at the prerequisites for those requirements and selecting exercises based on that.

[BrianaReynoso]

I really like that you touched on creativity when discussing training equipment because a lot of people seem to give up, thinking they need certain materials. In reality, you can make anything work as long as you get creative.

[torilucht]

I loved seeing the chart on the related exercises for the different movement patterns. That was very helpful to fully understand the different ways to train athletes!

[lexireynish]

This is such important information that I feel like a lot of my coaches and trainers in the past didn’t necessarily implement.

[Adam.gates_]

Exercise Selection is one of my favorite aspects of programming. I see it as a big puzzle that can be solved many ways.

[dimitricarrion]

I liked how you brought up the use of the word "core" when talking about types of exercise. I was confused when reading that in the textbook but I agree that it makes more sense to say primary instead.

[makennakaczmarczyk]

Prioritizing recovery days is soooo important! I've seen so many patients in the PT clinics I've worked at come in with injuries because they don't take adequate time to rest and go lighter on their exercises.

[celinegriffin]

I like how you pointed out that we should never assume an athlete can do a movement or can handle a movement and that we should always demonstrate and coach in order to build up the technique for the athletes to do advanced movements.

[zoiezantua]

That table is super helpful for understanding what exercises help improve and master movement patterns.

[ChynnaKifer]

The way you broke down the chart about movement-related exercises was helpful! I felt like I could visualize what you were talking about and the benefits of each related exercise.

[macynunez]

I like the point you made about not focusing on how the movements patterns of different sports look like but rather, focusing on the kinetic and kinematic parameters involved in those specific movements and working to execute those better.

[MatthewDuPrey]

I found this to be very useful especially when you talked about sport specific training and how when you actually train doing actions similar to your sport you are able to actually improve in your sport.

[joyshang]

I really enjoyed learning about how exercise selection is very important in shaping an athlete's training and impacts their performance.

[cjbuenviaje]

Your story with the rocks is a real life example of a Rocky workout. Love how it is still possible to make athletes stronger with a little bit of creativity when you do not have appropriate equipment.

[dereklinck]

Use what you have is a great example of creativity and achieving your goals no matter the obstacle. As long as employed correctly that is, great lesson programming for resistance training.

[alannabergherm]

Incorporating the sport specific exercises into a program and having specificity is so important!

[moirabryson]

I really liked that you included the table with the different sport movements and which exercises can be performed to improve those movements. Thank you!

[ryanharris]

I enjoyed reading the table you provided and how it included different movement patterns and the related exercises to those patterns

[willhopkins]

I think the most important part of this video was the reminder that, "just because an exercise looks like a movement, doesn't mean it is the best exercise for training it." Super important distinction to make.
