There are 5 organizations in Australia governing continuing education for massage therapists. Applicable courses have been approved by Massage Association Australia (MAA). The Association of Massage Therapists Australia (AMT) does not formally accredit continuing professional development courses; however, professionals are expected to complete and maintain records of 20 hours of relevant continuing education each year.  The Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (ATMS) also does not formally accredit continuing professional development courses.  ATMS members can accrue 1 point per hour for attending a short course as long as they receive a certificate and also write a 100-word summary stating how the event applies to their modality.

Repetition and exercise tempos for stability, muscle endurance, hypertrophy, strength and power. Effects of training to failure, super slow tempos, tempo vs load, and physiology of tempo training. 

Acute Variables: Repetition Tempo

Repetition ranges per set for stability, muscle endurance, hypertrophy, maximal strength, and power. Effects of repetition range on hormones, muscle size, performance, and upper limits.

Acute Variables: Repetition Range

The advantage of circuit training protocols is a reduction in session time by 35 - 60 %. This is especially true when attempting to allow for an ideal amount of rest between sets for similar muscle groups (2-3 minutes).

Acute Variables: Circuit Training

How long should you rest between sets to optimize set performance and maximally improve strength, hypertrophy, and power?

Acute Variables: Rest Between Sets

One-set per muscle group (2 sets/lower body muscle group) is recommended during an initial training period (6-12 weeks), followed by a progressive increase up to 3 - 4 sets per muscle group. Individuals with the goal of optimizing hypertrophy, strength, and/or power should likely not exceed 5-6 sets/muscle group. 

Acute Variables: Sets Per Muscle Group

Acute Variables: Training Frequency and Recovery Between Sessions

Acute Variables: Training Load (Weight and Resistance)

Set strategies, including conventional sets (horizontal loading), supersets, pyramid sets, and drop sets, are described and compared in this course and systematic research review (SR). 

Acute Variables: Set Strategies (Supersets, Pyramid Sets, and Drop-Sets)

Sets-to-failure are recommended for hypertrophy, strength endurance, and max strength goals. However, reps-in-reserve are recommended for power and athletic performance. 

Acute Variables: Performing Sets to Failure

Periodization refers to the planned manipulation of acute training variables, such as load, sets per muscle group, repetition tempo, exercise selection, etc., to optimize adaptation, improve performance, and prevent overtraining.

Acute Variables: Periodization Training

Comprehensive review of the research on exercise order, including which should be performed first: multi-joint or single-joint exercises, large or small muscle groups, aerobic or strength training, pre-exhaustion routine, and much more.
You'll learn how exercise order influences strength, hypertrophy, power, volume, neuromuscular recruitment, and session efficiency.

Acute Variables: Exercise Order

This course explores how variations in exercise range of motion (ROM) influence strength, hypertrophy, EMG activity, work output, power, and movement quality. From squats and knee extensions to biceps curls and bench press, you’ll examine the research on full ROM, partial ROM, and lengthened partial strategies to make data-driven programming decisions for clients, patients, and athletes.

Acute Variables: Exercise Range of Motion (ROM)

This course summarizes the evidence on modifiable acute variables influencing PAP, including timing, intensity, volume, contraction type, exercise selection, and specificity, and to identify practical programming recommendations for performance preparation.

Acute Variables: Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP)

Complex training pairs strength and power exercises within the same session to improve performance outcomes such as maximal strength, jump performance, sprint ability, agility, and sport-specific power.

Acute Variables: Complex Training (Strength and Power)

Stability Training: An exercise or rehabilitation program designed to enhance the body's ability to stabilize (maintain or regain balance). A stability training program prioritizes exercise progression over increasing repetitions, sets, load, or speed. 

Stability Training

Power training is a specialized form of strength training that emphasizes the development of high-velocity movements. This course presents an in-depth investigation of power training principles.
