What This Document Is
This document is a lab assignment – specifically, Part Two of Lab Six – for Grand Canyon University’s EXS 210: Coaching and Corrective Exercises course. It focuses on practical application of acceleration and speed training techniques with a client, building on foundational running mechanics work from a previous lab. Students will practice coaching and providing feedback in a small group setting.
Why This Document Matters
This lab is designed for students preparing to become coaches, trainers, or physical therapists. It’s used to develop skills in observing movement, identifying areas for improvement, and effectively communicating coaching cues. It’s a key component of translating theoretical knowledge of biomechanics into practical, hands-on experience.
Common Limitations or Challenges
