The Workshop:
Based on Dr. Tim DiFrancesco’s extensive scientific and experiential research, the goal of this workshop is to enhance the understanding and appreciation of aquatic training and rehabilitation from a scientific and practical perspective, specifically for athletes. To achieve this goal, through active participation and discussion, the attendees will learn to analyze proper form and technique of deep and shallow water running, as well as related appropriate exercises, plyometrics, and drills. In conjunction, relevant scientific principles as they apply in an aquatic environment will be discussed, e.g. buoyancy, drag, density, depth of water, anthropometric differences, shod vs. barefoot, metabolic, physiological, and psychological effects, etc.
