Develop Effective Resistance Exercise Programs to Improve Health
Muscular fitness helps with much more than increased strength—it also reduces the risk of injury, contributes to a healthy body weight and improves general health. With this course created in partnership with Healthy Living, you will learn how to help people—regardless of their age or fitness level—safely attain the numerous benefits of resistance training in a time-efficient manner.
Based on the research series “ACE Health and Wellness Reports,” this easy-to-understand course addresses the key factors involved in resistance training—from the physiological and psychological benefits of strength training to an overview of muscle structure and function. In addition, it provides a detailed look into the basic elements of safe resistance training and features an inclusive review of research-based training recommendations.
This course includes digital access to an 80-page online document (viewable only) and an online quiz.
Upon completion, you will be able to:
- Discuss the physiological and psychological benefits of engaging in a safe resistance exercise program
- Explain the factors that influence how strong a person becomes
- Develop an evidence-based prescription for a safe strength training regimen
Reviews
I loved this course! I was spoiled with the filmed trainers/teachers in the other classes, so this one took me a little longer to get through, but I am so grateful for the materials and I feel blessed to be able to provide more supported quality to the people I will be helping with fitness and health. I will return to these materials whenever needed, as long as they are available and I am proud and excited to have this class cert. Thank you and I am excited to continue on with my remaining coursework for this round of classes.
The Ebook includes great information and reference materials. It is not a downloadable document - and over 70 pages to read. I would have preferred to download and enjoy highlighting and jotting down notes for future reference. It includes great research information. It is a read only program - no videos.
The information was great. A con is that it had a lot of studies that may not have been necessary to include or could be perceived as "boring" to some. I wish we were able to download the PDF to go back to for reference.
