WHY EXERCISE MECHANICS™

You can study exercise science for years and still struggle to adjust a lunge for someone with knee pain, or refine a row for someone with poor scapular control.

That's because most exercise science focuses on adaptations. Exercise Mechanics™ focuses on the stimulus creating them.

With an education in Exercise Mechanics™, you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand joint motion and muscular function

  • Apply external forces intelligently

  • Match resistance to individual strength profiles

  • Create stimulus without unnecessary stress

  • Adjust exercises for real-life scenarios

It is the difference between exercise instruction and exercise design.

Exercise Mechanics™ is the basis of any client-centered program. It’s used across what we call the Functional Continuum™, which spans:

  • Rehabilitation and recovery

  • General population health and function

  • Athletic performance and return-to-play

  • Aesthetic physique development

  • High-efficiency training for busy professionals

If it involves resistance and a human body, it involves Exercise Mechanics™.

THE SCOPE OF APPLICATION

PUTTING MECHANICS INTO PRACTICE

RTS applies Exercise Mechanics™ through a structured curriculum designed to develop your coaching judgment as the scenarios you face become more demanding.
