Historical Perspective

Functional evaluation
Functional exercise

Movement Patterns
The relationship between altered movement
patterns and specific muscle weaknesses
requires that re-mediation addresses the
changes to the movement patterns; the
performance of strengthening exercises alone
will not likely affect the timing and manner of
recruitment during functional performance.
Dr. Shirley Sahrmann

Movement Patterns
effective
protection of the joints
depends largely on the
appropriate functioning of
the muscle system.
Vladimir Janda

Movement Patterns
Function is a miraculous and complex
combination of systems that are linked and react
with each other. In order to understand function
as a whole, the parts and components of
function must be appreciated.
Gary Gray

So why is there
a 3 score?
Exercise Programming!
How much movement prep
does a 3 need?
How much movement prep
does a 2 need?

Lisman 2013, Lehr 2013

Why a Continuum?
More efficient exercise
To support an activity
Ask yourself:
Is exercise how I get my fitness?
Is exercise how I enjoy my fitness?

KB Swing & Push Press


Efficient exercises

demanding activities.

What is a Continuum?
All about motor control
Develops physical capacity & complexity
NOT a competency

How to use a Continuum?


Establish Movement Competency
Physical Health

Establish Movement Capacity

Evaluate
Where do you rank
For you?
For your group?
Movement competency and capacity
will tell you all you need to know.
