Led by certified athletic trainer
Matthew Loyd, AT, the Sports
Performance Enhancement program
trains total athleticism while adding
a sports-specific element to training
through a functional movement
screening (FMS), Olympic-style lifting,
power lifting, speed and agility drills,
and jumping and landing drills.
Loyd is certified in FMS and played
four years of collegiate athletics. He
graduated from Central Methodist
University with a degree in athletic
training and is working on a master’s
degree in athletic training from
Missouri State University. Loyd is
on staff at CMH Sports Medicine
Center, located in the Meyer Wellness
and Sports Center on the campus
of Southwest Baptist University in
Bolivar.
Each athlete is screened using the
FMS system, which helps to identify
each athlete’s functional movement
limitations. “The screening is used
as a lens to view movement quality.
It helps to identify areas of injury risk
with symmetry patterns,” says Loyd.
“Our goal is to get participants moving
better and more frequently.“
After screening, the athlete is
placed on a specific performance
enhancement program to help improve
athleticism and lower the risk of
a sports-related injury. “It doesn’t
matter if you are a seasoned athlete
or a weekend warrior, we care about
getting you physically ready for the
demands of your sport,” shares Loyd.
