Pete Campion, Bryan Christensen and Jeremiah Moen gave a presentation at the Central District American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance conference in Rochester, Minn. The presenters are from the Department of Health, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences.
Titled “Utilizing Bands and Chains as Accommodated Resistance in Training Exercises,” the presentation covered the use, history and theory of accommodated resistance. “We found that there are few peer-reviewed studies published in this area,” Christensen said. “The majority of the studies found that there are some benefits to using these techniques. These techniques are used by many strength and conditioning coaches.”
Christensen received a Merit Award from the Central District Association of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. He received the award for demonstrating leadership in presentations, committee memberships, professional activities, mentoring, and innovation in activities, programs and performance.
Christensen has held two professional offices in American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.
