PROGRAM DETAILS
The field of exercise science is an unregulated industry that is fraught with
misinformation. That is not to say practitioners are not well intended.
Certainly, a person wanting to help clients achieve their ultimate physical
potential is admirable. However, despite being well intended, many practitioners
need more education in physiologically sound exercise principles as well as in
the practical application of strength and conditioning protocols, and management
and administration strategies.
The purpose of this seminar is to provide attendees the physiological acumen
along with practical skills for prescribing and administering evidence-based
strength and conditioning programs. Participants will examine all aspects of
exercise prescription, including programming and testing protocols, as well as
strategies for implementation and administration. Specific guidelines for
accommodating injury rehabilitation, overseeing nutrition and weight management,
and working with special populations will be discussed. This seminar is taught
by an established professional who has worked "in the trenches" at every level
of the exercise industry. Attendees will leave equipped to render a higher
quality of service to those whose care they are entrusted.
