Twist Conditioning
Twist Conditioning Inc. offers certification courses and online continuing education training. Twist Conditioning Inc. is a world leader in sport-specific training and functional fitness, offering educational resources, sport conditioning certifications and sport specific products.
Until now, most training programs have been based almost entirely on the experiences and goals of bodybuilders, coaches, and athletes. Scientifically unsupported training programs are not designed to meet the needs of our increasingly de-conditioned and injury-prone society.
Twist coaches focus on multi directional movement skills, deceleration, reactivity and standing whole body power. As new and expanding services open to the health club industry and competition for members becomes fierce, the specialized sport conditioning industry continues to boom. Twist Conditioning positions itself as one of the leaders in its scientific approach and implementation in addressing this growing market. The Twist Team is a progressive team, driven to re-define sport conditioning through knowledge, innovation and experience with a focus on balance, speed, agility, quickness and power conditioning.
Twist's three tiered "Sport Conditioning Certification" has evolved from 11 years of coaching professional leagues, conditioning professional athletes, and the latest cutting edge sport science research. Twist's sport conditioning paradigm - movement, strength and balance was developed to give coaches, trainers, rehabilitation specialist and teachers an opportunity to apply the same principles and techniques used to prevent injury and improve performance for thousands of successful athletes.
Maximizing sport performance involves training balance, strength, and defective movement in a read and react sporting environment.
Agility and movement drills add enthusiasm and function to personal training and group exercise programmes.?In life and sport, optimal performance is dependent on efficient movement skills. Techniques to improve speed, agility, quickness and reactivity (SAQ) will be covered in this comprehensive home study program to take participants to the top of their game. Ideal for youth, elite athletes, adult functional fitness, aging mobility, physical education curriculum and post injury return to action. (Study at home and at your own pace using a manual, workbook and DVD)
Capturing the force potential of the kinetic chain, the Twist Linked System™ approach is a whole body strength method for improving the ability to transfer force from the legs through the core to the upper body, producing optimal power for sport skills such as a tennis serve, golf swing or football tackle. Athletic strength builds whole body, closed kinetic chain stability, making clients more durable and able to withstand contact or unpredictable forces such as skiing moguls or battling along the boards.
The Athletic Strength module content includes: Athletic Strength guidelines from youth to aging; Athletic Strength Science 101- Muscle contractions, fibre types, mechanisms of strength gains, muscular power, time under tension, force velocity curves; Functional strength assessment; Linked System Lift Prep; Traditional versus Performance based training; Energetics Organizing exercises for highest metabolic cost and caloric expenditure; and Innovative multiplaner exercises with descriptions, cues, error corrections techniques, progressions and regressions.
Resources include: Twist Athletic Strength Manual; Home Study Outline and Instructions; Twist Athletic Strength Workbook; Twist Sport Strength DVD Leg Shoulders (45 minutes); Twist Sport Strength DVD - Chest and Back (45 minutes); and Online Exam

This home study course utilizes cutting-edge theory and practical information developed by sport conditioning industry innovator Peter Twist to help you understand and apply the principles of stability and rotary power into your training design. The core is best developed with a focus on whole body closed kinetic chain stability and rotary power to create a center for movement and force transfer. For dynamic performance and injury prevention, your core stabilizes to allow powerful leg and arm actions, leads into turns, absorbs stopping actions and regulates balance. Using the Bosu Balance Trainer™, Medicine Balls, Safety Toner Tubing, free weights and Stability balls.
This home study course delivers progressive training methodology developed by sport conditioning expert Peter Twist to develop optimal performance through effective movement. Theory, drills, and teaching progressions for agility, quickness and reaction skills for young athletes, adult functional fitness and elite athletes are covered in this comprehensive DVD and workbook package. The outcome will be an enhanced ability to improve movement skillfulness using single leg, double leg, acceleration, deceleration, lateral movements, stride power, vertical jump and many other movement patterns.
Learn a state of the art sport strength training programme by completing this home study programme designed by sport conditioning veteran coach, Peter Twist. Success in sport and in life movement requires the ability to transfer force from the legs through the core to the upper body seamlessly. With a focus on training integrated movement, you will study from a comprehensive workbook and DVD combination to learn how to incorporate both movement and balance into your training methodology.
