By checking this box I acknowledge that I have reviewed the Acclimatization & Conditioning Training module and understand through my role within the GVSU Athletics Department I am required to abide by the principles covered.
I acknowledge how vulnerable student-athletes may be during times of transition and understand the importance of acclimatization which allows for standards, best practices and appropriate precautions to be enforced.
I acknowledge that it takes 7-10 days for the body to acclimate to the physiological and environmental stresses and that special consideration should be given to the first 4 days of any transition back into activity.
I acknowledge that during the first four days, conditioning sessions should include limitations on total volume and intensity.
I acknowledge that during the first 7 days of acclimatization a second session of physical activity should be avoided.
I acknowledge that an individual transition period includes returning from injury, athletes new to the program and/or any other delayed participation relative to the team schedule.
I acknowledge that a team transition period includes any resumption in training after an academic break.
I acknowledge that all conditioning sessions should be evidence and consensus based, sport specific, intentionally administered and appropriately monitored.
I acknowledge that training and conditioning sessions should be documented and reproducible upon request.
I acknowledge that training and conditioning sessions are approved by a credentialed strength and conditioning professional and address volume, intensity, mode and duration, factor in emergency action response and be modified for environmental conditions.

I have completed the training, but I have questions that I would like answered before I submit my acknowledgement. Submit questions below:
