It Depends

"It depends." This is our most common answer when asked about recommendations for training a client with a disability. 

"How many sets and reps should we do?"
It depends.

" What exercises should we have them do?"
It depends.

"Do they learn best with verbal, visual, or physical prompts?"
​It depends.

Training this population is no different than training any other. You have to take into consideration their exercise history, their needs, and their goals to properly design a program for them. Every person is unique and their training program should be too. How do we train and select the exercises that we use with our clients? It depends.
