Case Study-Bob's Injury

Bob is a 15yr old who is very active. He enjoys jogging 3 to 5 miles daily. However, in the past year he has noticed that his muscles feel very tight, his lower back hurts occasionally, and he feels like he has lost some flexibility. Bob does not like to stretch and really sees no benefit in it. However, he is concerned about his loss of flexibility, because he thinks it may increase his risk for injuries during jogging. He would like to improve his flexibility levels, but he is not sure how to do so. Therefore, he needs the help of someone knowledgeable about designing and implementing fitness programs-- someone like YOU!

Here is your assignment:

Assume that Bob has asked you for some assistance. Organize a list of factors Bob should consider before beginning flexibility conditioning. Then list the recommendations you would give Bob for his first 2 weeks of flexibility conditioning.

Use these suggestions as a guide:

Keys to Help You:

Consider Bob's history of flexibility conditioning

Consider how he should evaluate his current flexibility levels

Consider his needs and goals. (For example, how will he find time to do flexibility exercises?)

Determine a reasonable plan for Bob that covers the concepts of overload, frequency, intensity, time, type, and progression.

Use the F.I.T.T. formula for flexibility conditioning program.

Basic example:
