Fitness/vitality( visu )
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 10 libraries worldwide
This series presents information for functional analysis, injury prevention, physical rehabilitation, training and conditioning, and performance enhancement. In this episode, vitality is stressed in conjunction with fitness. "With vitality comes persistence - the capacity to thrive despite the environment, the capacity to stay healthy and return to health, the capacity to take action, and the ability to live beyond one's self." Vitality involves the fitness of body, mTraditionally flexibility and mobility has meant stretching. Better results are achieved by using functional strategies and techniques to expand one's sphere of performance.

Fundamental/skills( visu )
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 9 libraries worldwide
This series presents information for functional analysis, injury prevention, physical rehabilitation, training and conditioning, and performance enhancement. In this episode, fundamental skill acquisition is discussed. Traditional training emphasizes general physical fitness and skill acquisition through skill practice. Functional training focuses on unique fundamentals which may be transferable to other skills. Functional training facilitates flexibility and the ability to make multiple and appropriate adjustments in various tasks. It also integrates mobility, strength, endurance, cardio, speed and agility as it incorporates natural neural training principles achieving better results.

Flexibility/mobility( visu )
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 8 libraries worldwide
This series presents information for functional analysis, injury prevention, physical rehabilitation, training and conditioning, and performance enhancement. In this episode, flexibility and mobility is discussed. Traditionally flexibility and mobility has meant stretching. Which stretching is a vauable component of rehabilitation, in many situations better results will be achieved in less time using functional strategies and techniques in the "zone of transformation."

Motivation/empowerment( visu )
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 5 libraries worldwide
The Fast Function series presents information for functional analysis, injury prevention, physical rehabilitation, training and conditioning, and performance enhancement. This episode reveals the power of encouragement and the strategies and techniques necessary to harness motivation and empowerment from which patients/clients and professionals can together be positively affected.

Balance/stability( visu )
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 5 libraries worldwide
This series presents information for functional analysis, injury prevention, physical rehabilitation, training and conditioning, and performance enhancement. In this episode, balance and stability is discussed. Traditionally balance and stability has meant stillness of the body on an unstable surface. While this is true for some scenarios, it is only a small aspect of the comprehensive functional balance that is needed for efficiency, effectiveness and safety in both daily activity and competitive performance. Focusing on the "zones of transformation" results in more effective rehabilitative therapy regarding balance and stability.

Demonstrates how dumbbells can be incorporated into multi-planar movement exercises in order to promote functional fitness.

Speed/Reaction by Gary Gray( visu )
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 4 libraries worldwide
In this issue of Fast Function, Gary, Dave and Bob give an in-depth explanation the essential elements of Speed and Reaction in all rehabilitation, training, and conditioning programs. These elements must be tailored to specific tasks: both optimal speed and reaction may be either slow or fast depending on the relative needs for power and precision. Time and timing is important. Traditional training programs tend to be biased toward maximized speed and reaction in dominant planes of motion, using primary muscle groups often in non-functional ways. Functional training recognizes that speed and reaction always need to be optimized in all three planes of motion and throughout the entire biomechanical chain reaction. Speed and reaction are weakest link phenomenon. Speedy reactions and reactive speed are enhanced by the whole body's capacity to decelerate (load) and accelerate (explode) efficiently and effectively in task specific Transformational Zones. Better results are achieved in less time using Functional strategies and techniques in Transformational Zones.

Strength/power( visu )
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 4 libraries worldwide
This series presents information for functional analysis, injury prevention, physical rehabilitation, training and conditioning, and performance enhancement. In this episode, strength and power is discussed. Traditionally, people focus on muscle training to increase strength. This program focuses instead on power training which will naturally enhance strength while also integrating mobility, endurance, cardio, speed and agility using the "zones of transformation."

Christy [DVD by Inc Family Productions( visu )
4 editions published in 1994 in English and held by 1 library worldwide
Nineteen year old Christy Huddleston has lived a life of luxury in her cosmopolitan, turn of the century hometown. Determined to reach beyond her sheltered world to help others, the headstrong schoolteacher heads for the impoverished Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee to teach in a remote schoolhouse.
