Introduction to the Core – Track and Field Edition

** Already signed up and want to access your course? Select, ‘Student Login’ from the menu.

One of the key areas that must be developed to a high level in all track and field athletes is that of a strong core.

A strong core will improve running speed, jumping height and throwing distance through a better coordination of power generation from legs up to the arms. 

What is often challenging for the coach of beginner and intermediate athletes is what exercises are best suited to develop this attribute?

This course is designed to help you better understand the core, how it works and how to develop a strong torso that will maximise the strength and power development of your athletes. This course aims to achieve three key things:

1. Allows you to accurately assess your athlete’s current core strength level
2. Develop techniques and practices to improve your athlete’s level of core strength
3. Provide you with a customised routine specifically for your athlete’s level of core strength

When you enrol for this course you will:

1. Have access to self-paced video lessons and topics that will help educate you in developing your athlete’s core,
2. Be able to download worksheets, and workbooks to support the video lessons in developing your athlete’s core,
3. Have access to an online forum to ask questions and seek feedback,
4. Receive your own core measurement device allowing you to manage and measure your athlete’s core development.
