Adaptive Strength and Endurance

Thursday, October 12, 2023

Description

Muscular strength and endurance training for people with disabilities is important for several reasons such as reducing the risk of injury, increasing core strength, coordination, and mobility as well as improving independence, confidence, and overall health and wellness. During this session, Turnstone Center staff will discuss how each of their roles tie into strength and endurance and how this type of training benefits athletes with disabilities. Turnstone staff will also talk about the uniqueness of working at a facility where the programs and the culture of the workplace promote and support collaboration among disciplines. Participants will have an opportunity to ask the speakers questions following the presentation.
