This lesson teaches a provider-led return on a leg-press machine: rebuild the old setup, establish a current safe baseline below the former working load, press through the declared range without locking or shifting, lower under control, stop before technical failure and progress only by the provider's predeclared rule. The old best is a reference, not today's starting prescription. Target outcome: The learner completes a supervised return set at the current provider-selected load and updates distance to a predeclared prior strength/function threshold. ### Authority and setup conditions - State why training stopped and report illness, injury, pain, medication, weight/activity or equipment changes. - Verify whether the prior threshold used the same device, seat, range and repetition rule. - Set a current starting load and stop rule without using the old performance as a mandatory target. - Rebuild the historical leg-press setup from records rather than memory, then identify which old threshold is actually comparable. If the old reference cannot be reproduced, label that limitation before testing today's lower baseline. - Rebuild the leg-press setup and establish today's controlled lower baseline before comparing anything with the historical load. ### Required or supplied materials - Provider-checked leg-press machine - Previous training/test record with device and configuration - Current setup photo and range markers - Return log for load, valid reps, symptoms, recovery and functional threshold - A reacquisition ledger for detraining cause and dates, prior and current machine setup, load, range, valid repetitions, symptoms, prior threshold, present difference and functional result. ## 1. Define the old threshold honestly Write the exact prior device, setup, load/repetitions and date plus one functional threshold; mark missing configuration as unknown. Why: A vague old best cannot be a clean reacquisition target. Success check: The reference is reproducible or explicitly limited. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The reference is reproducible or explicitly limited.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 2. Set today's lower baseline Let the provider choose a current load after warm-up and readiness, independent of pride or expected memory. Why: Capacity and tolerance may have changed during detraining. Success check: The learner can perform easy full-range reps without symptoms. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The learner can perform easy full-range reps without symptoms.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 3. Rebuild the leg-press setup Match the current recorded seat/back/foot positions and safety stop; use the provider-set comfortable range. Why: Leverage and range can make the same load a different task. Success check: All settings and foot marks are recorded. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “All settings and foot marks are recorded.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 4. Press smoothly Push through the whole foot, extend hips/knees together and stop at the top marker without locking or lifting the pelvis. Why: Controlled range keeps the repetition comparable. Success check: The body stays supported and both sides contribute as planned. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The body stays supported and both sides contribute as planned.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 5. Return under control Lower the platform through the full prescribed count to the bottom marker without bouncing or collapsing. Why: The return phase tests regained control, not just load movement. Success check: The load reaches the same bottom quietly. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The load reaches the same bottom quietly.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 6. Stop before old habits take over End the set at the provider's effort limit or first range, tempo, symmetry or posture failure; do not add a test rep at the old load. Why: Reacquisition is repeated valid exposure, not immediate proof. Success check: Only valid current reps are logged. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “Only valid current reps are logged.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 7. Update threshold distance Compare today's standardised result and function with the predeclared prior thresholds, including configuration and symptoms; compute time to regain only after the threshold is actually met. Why: A partial return must not be labelled regained. Success check: The record states current percentage/difference without a premature completion date. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The record states current percentage/difference without a premature completion date.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## Reflection What changed? ________________________________________________________________________________ What remains difficult? ________________________________________________________________________________ What will I repeat, adapt, ask for help with, or stop? ________________________________________________________________________________ --- Completion of this worksheet demonstrates tutorial participation only.
