Movement Goals

Increase strength in abs and core. Increase strength in quads, hamstrings and calves, very good for skiing performance. Increase strength in shoulders, mainly rotator cuff. Increase flexibility in hamstrings for soccer by doing hamstring strengthening and

stretching exercises. Increase agility for basketball by doing cardio agility workouts. Increase vertical jump for basketball by doing calf strengthen exercises. Be able to touch my toes or at least come within an inch. Be able to run 25-30 minutes instead of the usual 20 minutes on the treadmill with a

speed of 6.0 without fatigue. Be able to run a mile in at least 7 minutes. Increase performance in perform body weight exercises by a certain number such as pull

ups (8) and dips (12) without break. Workout for at least 5 hours a week.

Initial Summary

By reviewing my demographics and questionnaire, I found that I am considered obese

according to my BMI. I put a lot of stress on my body with the amount of sports and activity

I perform throughout the week, I have to be careful because of my father’s injuries and high

blood pressure. Also with the high blood pressure, I have to monitor my diet more. I do not

stretch nearly enough and I am very inflexible, both are major areas of concern for sure. I

want to improve my agility, flexibility and vertical jump the most mainly for athletic ability.

I want to get more cardiovascular fit by running more throughout the week and longer. I have

no injuries and I need to keep it that way by exercising safely. I am exercising a decent

amount already which is good. I am fairly strong in my opinion, but there is always

improvement in that area. I am involved in team sports weekly which is good, sports should

be a lifelong activity.

Postural Analysis

Anterior (Frontal) Posterior (Frontal)

Sagittal

views

By assessing my postural photos, I can see that I have a serious arch in my back and that my arms do not go

straight down. This could be from lifting making my arms stay like that. Also, I can see a slight forward lean, most likely from my back. The arch in my back could serve serious problems for me in the future considering back problems run in my family. I should be stretching a lot more and doing more back exercises but with lower weight. As for the rest of my upper and lower body, I feel as if everything looks fairly normal.

Overhead Squat Assessment

Anterior (Frontal) Posterior (Frontal)

Sagittal

By assessing my overhead squat pictures I feel as if my back is not straight. This could definitely be

because of the arch in my back. Also, it may look as if I am on my toes, however, I am certainly not. Also, my arms do not look completely straight up and down, this is mainly because I do not have the normal flexibility in my shoulder, most likely from lifting. I need to stretch more to gain some flexibility back. Rest of my body looks fairly normal, however the areas that I need to stress on I really have to because I need to prevent little future injuries as much as possible.

Range of Motion Summary

By overlooking my ranges of motion for each body part I have found a few things about myself. I have noticed that my shoulder flexion, extension, and abduction are not where I would like them to be. Also, I have noticed a slight bend in my knee while looking at the hip rotations, not quite sure why this could be. Also, my hamstring and quads are so inflexible it’s ridiculous, I have noticed in the pictures however, I could tell while my friend was taking the pictures that I need to work on my hamstrings more, which is a goal of mine.

My cervical movements were pretty spot on with the right range of motions. My flexion, extension, and abduction were pretty close to normal around 50 degrees. However my shoulder flexion, extension and abduction were a little off and I was around 165-170 degrees. My hips were all good around 90 degrees for flexion and rotation about 45 degrees as well. I need to work on my straight leg, Thomas test and sit and reach because they were close to the normal.

I need to stretch every single day, which I do not even stretch nearly enough per week as of now. I know if I continue to lift heavy my ROM may not increase. Although for my

hamstrings I really need to stretch and improve because I know I can improve that flexibility. I just need to stay focused and stay committed to being a healthier me.
