Excerpt From The Course
Exercises
There are many types of exercises that can be used in a weight training program. Body builders are constantly trying to design, change existing exercises to give their muscles a workout difference. When you train as often as they do you need to alter your program for psychological variety as well as physical.
When developing a program you need to be aware of the different exercises available to each body part and how to perform them correctly. The different body parts to be trained include the following:
Legs - Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Gluteals and Calf Muscles
Chest - Pectorals
Biceps
Triceps
Shoulders - Deltoids
Back - Lats, Rhomboids
Forearms
Abdominals
For each of these body parts there are many different exercises with different equipment that can be performed. For example: To train the biceps the following exercise program can be used.
Bicep curls on the machine
Bicep curls with a barbell
Bicep curls with dumbbells (one arm at a time)
Preacher curls
Cable curls
Concentration curls
All of these develop the one area of the body however different portions of the muscle and add variety to the workout. A beginner may do one exercise for biceps whereas a body builder may do 4 - 5 exercises and change them every workout. It is also important to insure that both the upper and lower parts of the body get equal training time. If you just work out the upper body the legs will not become stronger.Â
Most muscles are organized into opposing pairs. Activating one muscle, results in a pulling motion while activating the opposing muscle results in the opposite movement. When planning a training session, it is best to follow a pushing exercise with a pulling exercise which results in movement at the same joints. For example, follow an overhead press with a lat pull-down exercise. This technique helps ensure good strength balance between opposing muscle groups - which may, in turn, reduce the risk of injury. Sequence the program to exercise the larger muscle groups first, then the smaller muscles. For example, the lat pull-down stresses both the larger latissimus dorsi muscle of the back and the smaller biceps muscles of the arm. If curls are done first, the smaller muscle group will be exhausted and too weak to handle the resistance needed for the lat pull-down. As a result, the trainer cannot do as many repetitions with as much weight as he normally could in the lat pull-down. The latissimus dorsi muscles will not be overloaded and, as a result, they may not benefit very much from the workout.
Assessment
Assessment is based on a combination of completing all assignments and sitting for a final short one and a half hour exam, in your own location.
If you don’t cope well with exams then you may elect to undertake a project instead. This is a popular option.
In addition, most modules have a Set Task at the end of each lesson placed before the assignment. This is an opportunity to undertake practical work to help you acquire knowledge and skills and practical experience. This ADL feature is an added bonus not found at most online schools. Set Tasks are not required for assessment.Â
Some courses also have optional Self-Tests which are available on our online learning platform. These are not available by correspondence or by USB, and do not form part of your overall grade.
How our courses work
- Choose Your Learning Method
You choose how you would like to receive your course material, i.e., Online, USB or Correspondence. The choice is yours. You may also work on online or offline. - Tutor Allocation
Every student is assigned their own dedicated tutor who is an expert in their subject area. They provide as much or as little individual contact as you require. You can contact your tutor whenever you need – your hours are not limited. - Feedback and Assignments
Tutor Feedback is an essential component in helping you understand the subject matter. Tutor feedback is given in the form of notes written on the assignment. We encourage you to contact your Tutor where help with clarification and understanding of course material may be required.
Your assignments are located at the end of each lesson. You submit them for marking whenever you are ready. There is no time limit.  - Set Tasks and Self-Tests
Most modules have a Set Task at the end of each lesson before for the assignment. This is where you get the opportunity to undertake practical work to help you acquire knowledge, skills and practical experience. Many modules also have short Self-Tests. - Exams
Once all assignments have been completed you may then elect to sit for a one and half hour exam in your own location. If you prefer not to take the exam you do have the option to undertake a project instead.
Once the exam or project part of the course is completed, your Certificate is then processed. Please allow approximately 4 weeks for this. - Design Your Own Qualification
ADL offers students the flexibility to self-design their own qualification – bundling together a combination of 100-hour modules into a qualification higher than a certificate.
