SMFT Students at the Ft. Lauderdale Campus Work with “Clients”

The Fort Lauderdale Sports Medicine and Fitness Technology students, enrolled in Exercise Leadership and Special Population Groups, were asked to ‘model’ (physically and verbally demonstrating) various exercises. Their client/patient then was asked to perform the exercise with close supervision. These resistance training exercises were meant to benefit strength, coordination, balance, and range of motion. Each student modeled a unique exercise to ensure proper form, technique, and breathing. Students used proper communication skills, including active listening and body language, for safety and to enable the client/patient to become more confident and successful in their specific exercises.  Here, a clean and jerk Olympic barbell movement and a pelvic tilt were being taught by students.
