Exercise Mechanics:

The Scientific Method

Before we even begin to worry about how many reps to prescribe in a program - we must understand and determine how to do one rep in the first place.

Biomechanics is the study of the application of force on the living structure and RTS created Exercise Mechanics™ to be a division of Biomechanics specific to Exercise.

Aerobics to Strength, Function to Aesthetics, Pilates to Powerlifting, are all forms of resistance exercise where FORCE is the common denominator. It is absolutely essential to have a strong fundamental understanding of how the force you prescribe effects the end user.

Resistance Training Specialist Level 1 is recognised by ACE and NASM!

All course attendees will be able to submit 2.8 ACE CECs and 1.9 NASM CEUs towards renewal of their Certifications.
