This online Certified Core Isolators

Instructor Course was developed to give

exercise and health professionals a simple

starter guide on working with Core Isolators.

This internationally recognized qualification

acknowledges the holder as an educated

instructor.

Core Isolators are the latest innovation in

core strengthening training. The device

is based on the premise of an unbalanced

environment forces the body to work harder

and consequently become stronger.

The unique award-winning scientific design of

the foot plate forces core muscles throughout

the body to become actively engaged. Just

by standing on it you are actively training your

core muscles. As little as one minute a day is

beneficial.

Following the simple exercise guidelines

outlined based on sound training principals,

this course will enable certified instructors to

provide quality training instruction.

Contribution and comment from doctors,

osteopaths, physiotherapists, coaches,

and athletes provide a holistic overview

guaranteeing a thorough understanding for all

participants.

A key objective of this course is to provide

a strong foundation level of knowledge for

certified instructors to maximize the benefits

associated with exercising with the product.

Core Isolators were developed by ATFCA

track and field coach, and ex-professional

rugby union player, Mepi Faoagali. (Based

in Brisbane, Australia Mepi works with elite

amateur and professional athletes from all

sports specializing in “grass athletics” and

core stabilization.)

The simple yet effective device was borne out

of a need to replicate the sprint position of the

foot as it strikes the ground. The ball of the

foot is the only contact point with the ground

during the striking sprint motion. Having the

ability to replicate and isolate the contact

point between foot and ground is an extremely

powerful and useful tool.

Core Isolators work so effectively because

they remove the balancing properties of the

heel and toes.

This forces core stabilizer muscles throughout

the entire body to become engaged, and

consequently, they become stronger.

This section outlines “Recovery Mode” which

is the optimum standing recovery position.

Activity:

Stand with feet shoulder width apart, focus on

putting your body weight through your heels,

lock the knees. Sit your weight through your

heels. Stand in this position for a moment and

become aware of muscle engagement.

Q. What do you notice?

A. Anything?

Did you know...

f It’s very efficient to stand in this position.

f It doesn’t take much energy.

f We can relax our skeletal muscles as our

body weight is supported more through

our bone structure.

f Physically the body is in a very relaxed

state.

Did you know that standing in this position

is very efficient in terms of energy output?

Because your bone structure; the tibia, femur,

pelvis are taking the weight – helping maintain

our body erection.

Q. When standing in this position what is

happening to your core?

A. Anything?

Did you notice...

f Standing in this position (weight through

your heels) it allows stomach muscles to

be relaxed.

f The core is not fully engaged.

f Which makes it’s easier to engage in

abdominal breathing.

What is abdominal breathing?

Using the diaphragm to inspire ourselves.

Using the muscles of the stomach and

abdomen to expand and draw air into the

lungs.

TIP FOR SPORTS PEOPLE: You will recover

faster in a shorter time if you use abdominal

breathing as opposed to chest breathing.

If you are an athlete or train athletes where

recovery is an important in performance e.g.

rugby, football/soccer, netball, then during

down time e.g. when the game stops for a

period of time – stand with weight through

heels, relax the core, and start abdominal

breathing.

Guaranteed to recover quicker.

When standing in this position we call it

“recovery mode”.

Why is this important for Core Isolators?

Good questions, the answer is: the direct

opposite of “Recovery Mode” – “Active

Mode” is the secret why Core Isolators are so

successful.

“Active Mode” is why Core Isolators are so

effective.

In “recovery mode” we note that the bone

structure is supporting our weight and the

relaxed core allows the ability to engage in

abdominal breathing.

Getting into “Active Mode” is very easy.

Step 1. Stand in recovery mode (weight

through heels, muscles relaxed)

Step 2. Now, raise heels off the ground and

balance on toes and ball of feet.

Q. Stand maintaining balance for 30

seconds. What do you notice about your

core and stomach muscles?

A. Anything?

Activity.

Try abdominal breathing, what difference to do

notice as opposed to abdominal breathing in

“recovery mode”?

Easier, harder?

Did you notice…

In this position we reduce the structural

bone support provided normally through the

heel, tibia, and femur.

In this position your skeletal muscle structure

has now been engaged to support your weight.

It’s harder to engage in abdominal breathing

because our stomach muscles are activated.

In this position our core is forced to become

engaged.

Core Isolators place the body in this

position and forces all the stabilizer muscles

throughout the body to work harder.

Core Isolators have been scientifically

biomechanically designed to remove the

balancing properties of the toes and heels

thereby forcing stabilizer muscles to work

harder and become stronger.

When introducing Core Isolators to new clients

go through Recovery Mode and Active Mode

product and your knowledge.

Static exercise, also referred to as isometric

exercise or isometrics, is a type of strength

training in which the joint angle and muscle

length do not change during contraction.

The comparative opposite is dynamic

exercise, which includes concentric and

eccentric contractions, also known as

isotonic movements.

Static exercises are done in stationary

positions rather than movement through a

range of motion. Joints and muscles are either

worked against an immovable force or are held

in position while opposed by resistance.

Static exercise is a form of exercise involving

the static contraction of a muscle without any

visible movement in the angle of the joint.

This is reflected in the name “isometric”; the

term combines Greek prefixes “iso” (same)

with “metric” (distance), meaning that in these

exercises the length of the muscle and the

angle of the joint do not change.

contact points.

2. Stationary items (e.g., a fence when

pushing against it)

3. Free weights, weights machines or elastic

equipment (e.g. holding a weight in a

fixed position)

4. Electronic equipment that has a digital

display indicating maximal force.

5. Other

Depending on the goal of the exercise, the

exertion can be maximal, or sub-maximal.

Static exercise is extremely beneficial for

all levels of fitness. From the elite to the

elderly, every person can perform and

benefit from static exercise.

Because there is no movement static exercise

is very effective for people with limited

mobility or range of movement. All individuals

regardless of mobility can perform static

exercises.

High intensity workouts can be performed

regardless of the level of fitness. The intensity

and effort is relative to the individual which

means that comparative output does not apply.

Static exercises can raise blood pressure

for the duration of the exercise. While it

will return to a resting level soon after, it is

important to breath continuously throughout

the duration exercises. Breath holding

will only compound any increases in blood

pressure.

As with all forms of exercise warm up first.

Muscles are under tension for a period of

time and although that tension is constant

compared to a dynamic contraction, tears can

still occur.

Always maintain some degree of tension in the

abdominal region during all exercises. This will

help to maintain a correct posture and will help

to develop core stability.

Volume for a strength training resistance

routine is prescribed based on the number of

sets and repetitions. The equivalent in static

exercises is the length of time each action is

held for and the number repetitions in total.

Elite sports men and women can hold their

core for maximal effort for anywhere between

5 to 9 seconds – give or take a second or two.

The reason is that muscles require oxygen, the

muscle begin to fatigue when oxygen supplies

become depleted.

Example 1.

An Olympic 100m sprinter’s core muscles

begin to fatigue after approximately 5

seconds, at this point they begin to slow down.

Muscles run out of oxygen, begin to fatigue,

performance reduced.

Example 2.

Weight and power lifters need to complete

their lift before their core muscles fatigue out.

Usually most lifts will be completed within 6 to

8 second time frame.

Dynamic or isotonic exercise is a type of

training which the joints move and muscles

contract and elongate. Dynamic exercise

involves isotonic contraction, tension

remains unchanged and the muscle’s length

changes. Lifting an object at a constant

speed is an example of isotonic contractions.

There are two types of isotonic contractions:

1. concentric and

2. eccentric.

In a concentric contraction, the muscle

tension rises to meet the resistance, then

remains the same as the muscle shortens.

This type is typical of most exercise. The

external force on the muscle is less than the

force the muscle is generating – a shortening

contraction.

CONCENTRIC

SECTION.04

In eccentric, the muscle lengthens due to the

resistance being greater than the force the

muscle is producing.

Note:

There are two main features to note regarding

eccentric contractions. First, the absolute

tensions achieved can be very high relative

to the muscle’s maximum tetanic tension

generating capacity (you can set down a much

heavier object than you can lift).

Second, the absolute tension is relatively

independent of lengthening velocity. This

suggests that skeletal muscles are very

resistant to lengthening, thereby allowing very

high levels of tension to develop as can occur

in isometric exercise.

Follow the following instructions when

getting on:

Note: The “Three Point Contact” rule

applies when using Core Isolators. e.g. three

points of contact at all times when getting

on and off. Use stable object eg door, chair,

wall, PT.

1. In an area clear of obstacles take your

clients through the Recovery Mode and

Active Mode exercise. Make sure they

have an understanding of the process

the body goes through when in these

position.

2. Then position the Core Isolators

approximately shoulder width apart

directly in front of each foot. Judgment

call shoes vs bare feet.

3. Tell your client to focus on the platinum

“Athletica” logo as a reference point,

connect contact points (e.g. Hold on

object) and step onto the Core Isolators

one foot at a time.

4. The toes hang over the edge and the ball

of the foot is the contact point.

5. The “Athletica” platinum badge should be

visible at all times.

6. If the badge is not visible move feet

slightly back.

7. Feel for the body’s balance points and

take weight in stand alone position.

8. Commence workout.

There are two styles of getting off Core

Isolators

f Step Off

f Fall Off

To Step Off

1. Hold onto support/stationary object with

hands.

2. Lift one foot at a time, step back onto the

ground.

To fall off the Core Isolators indicates

performing an exercise beyond physical

capability.

Gradually increase overload (refer to

progression table) to improve core strength

and balance.

Ensure that the core is strengthened gradually

and training is overloaded in sequence to

ability and strength.

SECTION.04

Another key benefit of using Core Isolators

is the “get off” effect. When using Core

Isolators stabilizer muscles become actively

and intensively engaged. Because of the

activity the brain transports oxygenated

blood to these muscles and consequencly

they become “switched on”.

The result is that a cycle starts; stabilizer

muscles have been activated and the brain

sends oxygenated blood to those muscles, the

stabilizer muscles start receiving oxygenated

blood and become more engaged and the

brain sends more oxygenated blood.

This is why when you get off the Core Isolators

you will notice that you mobility and agility

have immediately improved. As this cycle

continues for a period of time your core will be

switched on you’ll notice an added bounce in

your step.

The absolutely best exercise tip is this:

Stand on Core Isolators while brushing

your teeth. The brushing motion is perfect

overload when standing on your Core

Isolators.

Lock the shoulders down and back, soft in the

knees, pelvic tilted slightly forward. Left hand

brush then swap to right hand brush, slow

fast, up, down, circular, reverse. Add in hip

rotations, excellent way to start the day.

Not only (1) are they getting a great core

workout and (2) “waking up” their core for

the morning but (3) they’re getting their teeth

cleaned at the same time! Is that even legal?

Who’s got good core strength and balance?

Core Isolators are so effective as little as 1

minute a day is enough to get a workout.

In fact we challenge first timers to last 1

minute.

From our experience out of all the people who

have trialled Core Isolators only about 5% of

the population have lasted over 60 seconds on

their first time. Inventor Mepi Faoagali took 3

weeks to get up to 1 minute.

The 1-Minute Challenge is a great opportunity

to introduce Core Isolators to your clients.

The 1 Minute Challenge Rules.

1. Never tried before, no practising, 5 minute

walking warm-up permitted, when on,

timing starts.

2. Bare feet or socks.

3. Generally toes not allowed to touch the

stability ledge.

4. If a beginner can last 60 seconds then

they are a member of a special group of

people!

Give it a go. Film it and post to our

Facebook page.
