Same. It sounds so high and squeaky!
I really like that as a marker for quality.

I think one of the points being yes, injuries happen from collisions and falls etc. but injuries like pulled hamstrings from running etc. come down to the conditioning of the athlete and a failure to condition and strengthen the athlete to be able to handle the normal physical aspects of whatever sport it happens to be. The lecturer used several players at professional sporting clubs in Australia as example of this type of failure along with some examples of clubs in both the US and Aus who do achieve the benchmark. A player who is away from their sport due to avoidable injury is not improving their skill and ability to work well within their team, reducing overall performance of the athlete and the team as a whole.
on a side note, one of the lecturers biggest hates is going into commercial gyms and seeing personal trainers teaching incorrect form or having clients doing exercises that the client is simply not capable of doing correctly due to physical limitations. He is not wrong, I have seen it in almost every gym I have ever been in. While as a powerlifter I love bench, squat and deadlift, these are NOT good exercises for some people no matter how good they are as exercises, some people may be able to do these later on after correcting some of their limitations.

I realised that the best execise for me are dance and pilates, I shouldn't jump or hold dumbells so it's perfect for me.
As for our pictures...well I fell the same sometimes but not always and I'm working on myself. I visited psychologist a few times in my life and she gave me a lot of very good advice so I suggest you to do the same.
I like your lecturer... I'm sure good personal trainers exist but the ones I've seen at most gyms seemed utterly incapable of even correcting form, let alone tailoring their programs to their clients. They just look good and go through the motions - it must be so boring.
I think the problem with this is not entirely the fault of the PTs, a lot of the problem is lack of education from the general public with the belief that those with the "Look" know what they are doing. There is a massive drop out rate for people in the fitness industry with no real incentive to become better trained because all that matters is looks, and not an actual ability to train people in a safe effective way. An example of this would be my son who most definitely has the "Look" of a personal trainer and does often get asked for fitness advice simply on the assumption that due to his looks he knows what he is doing. To his credit he openly admits he knows nothing about general fitness or training others, he knows how to follow a training program, he has a very fast metabolism, eats a lot of crap. If they persist in asking questions he will say "go ask my mum"
I cannot remember which subject it was, but a photo was shown with a dozen old fat men having a chat and it was pointed out they were the top coaches in the world across a couple of different sports, not one of them was young fit or good looking but the years of experience, education and success in training world beating athletes was massive.
Another aspect of this uni course you would like is ensuring that as strength and conditioning specialists we know when to refer to a Physiotherapist (Physical Therapist) for problems outside of our scope of practice, unlike most personal trainers who will power ahead in the belief they know everything.

I've been visited sport clubs for 7 years or so (stoped because of covid). Last time I found the insructor in my age and good shape, asked him what to eat and how to train, I guess it's normal....
At the same time it's important for us to know when to say: ok, my part of the job is done, now find a decent trainer and go work on your strength and fitness some more in a fun way because we both know you're not going to keep doing your physio exercises for life. And since most people do need to stay active for life the best way to keep them healthy is to get them enjoying some kind of regular exercise.
Choosing a trainer this way is very hit and miss as to how qualified they are, usually more miss and should not be the normal way to choose a coach or trainer, always check qualifications and ask about their success with other clients, references are good.
I am not sure about Russia, but in Australia giving a client a diet plan to follow is out of the scope of practice for personal trainers. Trainers can suggest following national guidelines. In the same way a Dietitian cannot give exercise advice.

well...in Moscow you can any service you want but I wasn't too serious about training plan or something, I do sport mostly for health and visit sport club becaues I work from home and sometims feel alone, happy to chat with other women)
todays 2 hour lab session in the gym was reviewing the FMS and recording our data in prep for week 3 assessment. My scores improved compared to when we done FMS in the pre-rec subject with my shoulder mobility score no longer being recorded as "Refer to doctor/physio" it was not top marks but within the acceptable range, knees and hip were also in normal. the core stability test (core push-up) was a men's max score as it was last time, woman have easier hand positions making the lever shorter and therefore the test a little easier. To achieve the max score using the men's hand position the hands are placed with the base of the thumbs in line with the top of your head at shoulder width, feet together and do a perfect straight push-up with no sags or bends. Woman to get max score have hands in line with eyes.
I have b(*%dy DOMS today across my whole body lol, the tests are bodyweight only, just simply doing the movement patterns in a test format has had quite an effect. My abs are so sore It would not be wise to laugh, doing the core stability push-ups just for the required test reps would have been ok but I done fair more reps because I was asked to by the tutor to do more to demo what a perfect score looks like and for others to see it from differing angles, I have a strong core, but this has really worked the muscles.
