Want to be able to determine the potental risk or benefit of an exercise? During the course, we will present a deductive step by step Biomechanical Model for Resistance Training analysis. We will address many factors that effect resistance-training exercise by exploring, Mechanics, Physics, Anatomy, and Kinesiology. Participants will have a greater understanding of how to analyze the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of exercise through the use of sound scientific principles combined with an understanding of forces and their potential effect on the musculoskeletal system.  2.5 AAPTE CECs 

This continuing education course has been updated to provide advanced training for certified fitness professionals to enable the assessment and design of exercise for special populations and medically cleared clients who may have chronic disease. We will introduce the principles of biomechanical and postural analysis, methods of choosing and progressing exercise. We cover a variety of conditions and diseases associated with special populations, and discuss the scope and responsibility of the fitness professional. You will gain theoretical and practical skills necessary to assess and design client-specific exercise. Topics include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, hyperten­sion, multiple sclerosis, fibromyal­gia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, pregnancy, HIV, cancer, obesity, female triad syndrome, joint , bone and muscle diseases and dysfunction, as well as structural, postural, and muscular integrity assessments. Course dates are September 25, 26, October 2 13.5 AAPTE CECs 2.o ACE CECs
