Keiser University, Orlando campus Sports Medicine and Fitness Technology (SMFT) students recently enjoyed a visit to D1 Training, a facility that utilizes Division 1 strength and conditioning programs supported by scientific research to support athletes.
The group participated in a 54-minute ‘bootcamp’ style workout. “It was explained to us that the most important part of the workout is a dynamic warm-up. It is so important in fact that it typically last ten to twelve minutes,” said professor Stefane Dias of the lesson that began with a variety of preliminary exercises at the facility’s indoor 20-yard line, and then progressed to strengthening routines using both body resistance and weights at various stations.
Following the workout and a final stretch, students enjoyed a tour of the facility and learned more about its many programs for professional and collegiate athletes.
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
