COMPONENT THREE - STRENGTH TRAINING

Strength Training is an important aspect of any weight loss, fitness, or

performance program and is used to increase your lean muscle mass and boost

your metabolic rate. The appropriate Strength Training program for each client

is designed specifically with the goals, needs, wants and abilities of the particular client in mind.

Until now, most training programs have been based almost entirely on the

experiences and goals of bodybuilders, coaches, and athletes. Scientifically

unsupported training programs are not designed to meet the needs of our

increasingly de-conditioned and injury-prone society.


The National Academy of Sports Medicine’s exclusive Optimum Performance

Training (OPT) method represents the industry’s first and only comprehensive

training program based on current scientific research that provides undisputed

results specific to individual needs and goals.


Creating a new industry standard for success, OPT virtually eliminates

programming and program-design guesswork for anyone at any fitness

level. By following the systematic OPT method; our certified

professionals develop training, conditioning, or rehabilitation programs

scientifically proven to produce remarkable results.



By incorporating multiple types of training—

flexibility, cardio respiratory, core,

balance, reactive, speed, agility, quickness, and

strength—into every program,

the revolutionary and easy-to-follow OPT

method improves all biomotor abilities

and builds high levels of functional strength, neuromuscular efficiency, and

dynamic flexibility.
