Description
This course provides students with the recommendations and rationale necessary to design fitness programs for healthy adults and special populations. In addition, the course will explore the application of specificity, overload, and progression as well as provide an overview of acute program variables, changes made in a program, selection of exercises, how to determine frequency, and exercise sequence. Students will learn exercise program design based on underlying principles and concepts developed for very specific training goals and match these goals with the necessary program design to achieve desired results. The course also addresses how to add variation to a training program with weight loads, repetitions and sets, intensity, volume, and rest period lengths.
