BioAcademics Weekend Workshops
Cadaver Anatomy
Participants will spend an 8-hour day in the lab exploring the mechanics of the body with dissected human cadavers. This workshop will lead participants in analyzing current techniques in mobility and strengthening. Key areas the course will look at are muscle attachment sites, muscle fiber direction, fascial attachment sites, fascial fiber direction, joint axes, common anatomical occurrences, and anomalies.
Nov 17th at The University of Chicago Illinois
Instructor: Michelle Amore
Cost: $350
9:00am to 5:00pm
Exercise Mechanics: The Foundation of Exercise
Participants will learn to establish exercise parameters for any client, from the elite level athlete to those with systemmic inflammation or joint pathology. An exploration of fundamental concepts in physics, biomechanics, and anatomy will provide participants with the ability to develop and progress exercise skill and performance. From seated leg extensions to squats and powerlifts, a new perspective of exercise will be gained.
December 8th at Precision Human Performance
Cost: $275 until November 15th then $350
Instructor: Michelle Amore
8:30am to 4:30pm
Skill Acquisition and Performance
This workshop examines motor learning and control as it relates to skill and proficiency of movement. Participants will learn the how to challenge and improve motor skills in all aspects of human performance. From exercise execution to athletic performance and rehabilitation, this course will provide applicable information to make decisions about desired movement outcomes.

Instructor: Michelle Amore & Ryan Kroth
8:30am to 5:30pm
Exercise & Inflammation
There is a direct relationship between exercise and inflammation. During this workshop, participants will gain a proper understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in acute and chronic inflammatory responses and its effect on recovery and disease. Participants will also learn how to prescribe exercise strategies to attenuate these responses and avoid overtraining.
February 2019 Date TBA
Instructor: Johnny Cooke
Exercise Design and Programming
Participants will learn how to properly construct an individualized exercise program for clients by understanding and applying forces to numerous joints in the body. The lab will focus on the initial creation of a training business and then lead participants to understand the construction of an exercise program.
