The M.O.R.R. training system is a continuing education program developed for the sports performance, rehab, and strength and conditioning communities. The program consists of a basic and specialized certificate of proficiency course. M.O.R.R. is an acronym for Movement, Overspeed, Resistance and Reaction (MORR overview, 2021). This system was developed by renowned sport’s performance coach Chip Smith. Chip developed this system after studying at the world famous Soviet Sports Institute in Moscow, Russia in the late 80’s. The Russians trained their athletes in a sports specific and position specific system, using overspeed, resistance and reaction. The purpose of this system is to provide training and instruction for coaches and trainers who want to add movement specific training to their coaching repertoire. Chip Smith Performance Systems has been training athletes in this system for over 30 years and is ready to help coaches and trainers successfully implement the M.O.R.R. training system (MORR overview, 2021).
Patient Description
As reported previously, the patient of interest is a 45-year-old Caucasian male, “Michael,” whose current body metrics are as follows: height 5’8”; weight 215 pounds, body mass index (BMI) of 32.7 (Body Mass Index, 2020) and body fat percentage of greater than 30.3 (Tomlinson et al., 2019). Michael does not have experience with exercise and regularly complains of muscle stiffness and joint pain. The patient has been provided stretch/flexibility exercises by his provider but has no interest in pursuing any type of physical activity. The primary care provider informed Michael of the urgent attention needed in implementing lifestyle interventions. The need has been thoroughly explained to prevent the onset of chronic disease. As also reported previously the strength program for Michael will begin with cardiorespiratory exercises making use of stationary bikes, elliptical, and stair climbing. The first week’s exercise, as set forth in Table 1 below, will be four times per week with in 20-minute intervals. As endurance builds, the RPE will be adjusted to reflect between a scale of 5-6 with gradual increase.

The health belief model would be central to the campaign used for outreach, with the intent of encouraging involvement of roughly 30 participants over the duration of a full year. This experimental group would be compared to a control group that would remain engaged in St. Anselm's already existing 3-day-a-week
Physical Activity in Prison The effects that prison incarceration has on the health and well-being of inmates are multi-faceted and complex. The prison environment presents stressors not experienced outside of the prison context that can bring about exacerbated health problems and psychological difficulties. Health care delivery in prisons is an important issue, as primary healthcare initiatives designed to focus on disease prevention are required in order to maintain health in the
