Plan and Expectations

Fitness program for a person with traumas of the clavicle, rotator cuff, medial meniscus, and ankle sprains should be based on precise control of the achievements, health condition, as well as body parameters. The training will involve an extensive warm-up, a gradual increase of the load, and isolated joint exercises for avoiding inaccurate movements.

Warm-up	Sets	Reps	Duration	Rest	Notes
Jogging	1	1	5-10 min	1-1.5 min
Stretching ex-s	1	2	30 sec each	15 sec	Warm muscles will be easier to stretch. Light stretching will remove stiffness.
Drills	1	10-15	10-15 sec	0	Final stage of the warm-up

Rationale

Warm up. The offered exercises are selected for decreasing the muscle stiffness, and increase body temperature.
Core balance. These exercises do not load the back, and will be suitable for gradual increase of the load for back.
Reactive. These are quite effective for accelerating the nervous impulses, and improving balance.
SAQ. Backward run, drills, and box run steps are recommended for the general fitness restoration.
Strength. Most exercises offered are featured with isolated joint movement, and will not load the injured joints extremely.
Cool-Down. The exercises are intended to decrease tension after the training
