Description
The purpose of the workshop is to present the ‘’ Optimal Movement Variability’’, which “opens’’ new perspectives” for Exercise Science and is a pioneering model for exercise selection in Modern Fitness. Exercise selection, as simple as it sounds, is a difficult challenge. The seminar will attempt to answer questions such as:
– Which exercise is appropriate and which is not? Why?
– Which exercise is functional and which is not? Why?
– Are all exercises suitable for everyone? Why?
– What criteria are used to make the selection?
– Which Theoretical Models can be applied to provide appropriate answers?
