DNS Strength Training 2

What is DNS-Strength Training 2?

DNS-ST2 builds on the concepts covered in DNS ST1. We dig deeper into the fundamental DNS concepts introduced in DNS ST1 (Functional Joint Centration, Stabilization, The roll of the Diaphragm in Respiration and Stabilization). We break out of the sagittal plane to cover coronal and transverse plane movements. We also break away from symmetrically loaded, unilateral movements and cover asymmetrically loaded and unilateral movements such as lunging, single arm dumb bell rows, single arm kettlebell pressing.  

Who is eligible to take this course?

All attendees must have successfully completed DNS ST1. No other DNS course will substitute for DNS ST1. 

Objectives:

• Provide a detailed explanation of Functional Joint Centration.
• Teach attendees about the origin and function of the oblique muscle chains. 
• Teach attendees about proper foot loading: anatomy involved & its impact on stabilization and centration.
• Teach attendees about diaphragm function in sports: the diaphragm paradox. 
• Workshop DNS exercises based in developmental kinesiology from newborn to 18 Months, with an emphasis on positions older than 6 months (Oblique Sit, Tripod, Bear). 
• Introduce rules for applying DNS principles to programming.

Goals:

• Improve attendees’ understanding of stabilization.
• Improve attendees’ understanding of proper foot loading.
• Teach attendees how to program utilizing DNS principles.
