Understanding of functional anatomy is the first step and the basis for the successful operation of the personal trainer in the training environment.
With functional anatomy, you will learn 4 basic areas, namely:
It is difficult to imagine the choice of exercises and the composition of training programs without the fundamental knowledge of the anatomical structures that are responsible for the movement of the body.
With the basics of the nervous system, you will learn about why it is important to know the neurological connections of individual muscles, organs and other parts of the body. You will learn two important nervous system:
The basics of the nervous system are important for understanding the functioning of the muscles, identifying damage to the nervous system and easier preparation and understanding of training.
In this module you will learn that the body cells do not get energy directly from food but the energy comes as a source after food is digested. The carbohydrates, protein and fats break down into simple compounds glucose, amino acids and fatty acids which are then absorbed into the blood and transported to various cells throughout the body.
In cardiovascular physiology, you will detail the heart muscle tissue, which is functionally divided into two parts, namely:
Knowledge and understanding of the structure of the heart muscle, blood circulation (small and large blood circulation), blood pressure or arterial blood pressure, array of arrays (arteries), veins of the feed (veins), the role of blood in the human body and blood cells, the basics that influence on aerobic exercise (for example: running, cycling, swimming ...).
This module will explain how endocrine system has a series of glands that produce & secrete different hormones that the body uses for a wide range of functions – these glands are known as Endocrine Glands.
The Endocrine Glands release chemicals known as Hormones into the bloodstream in order to help & manage the internal environment & functions of the body.
Through breathing, inhalation and exhalation, your respiratory system builds the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe.
This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work and is therefore very important while planning different types of training programs. It also cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your blood. Common problems include allergies, diseases or infections.
In this module you will learn that nutritional fitness is a key component of health and total fitness.
The food eaten as a part of the daily diet influences energy levels during exercise and affects overall health and wellbeing.
Fitness professionals are often asked for advice and support in helping clients to achieve goals that require them to change their eating habits. It is important to respect professional boundaries when providing information or advice relating to nutrition.
Also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and is the function of digestion and absorption.
The digestive system begins at the mouth, includes the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (also known as the colon) and rectum, and ends at the anus.
Digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules, which are then absorbed into the body. A good functional digestive system tells us when we are hungry, full and thirsty and does so through the nervous system, which informs the brain of what the body needs and wants.
Health is an individuals susceptibility to a disease, and we define a healthy lifestyle as a group of actions and patterns of behavior that have a positive impact on well-being.
You will learn 2 categories of fitness components, namely:
When working with customers in a training environment, it is necessary to take into account that there are already different health risk factors involved, different health symptoms and specific restrictions on the skeletal-muscle system that affect the composition of the training program and the integration of various components in the training program.
Preliminary consulatation with the client is important before starting the training process, it is necessary to obtain as much information as possible about the customer's health condition.
Preliminary consultation is a specific process focused on obtaining information through forms and questionnaires, namely:
The customer's health status, health risk factors, risk factors for causing injury and specific restrictions are the starting point for the composition of the individual training program.
You will learn that the difference between exercise and physical activity is the consistent repetition of training in order to enhance a specific level of fitness, performance or skill. We use different volumes, intensities and time/pace as an attempt to place the muscles under stress for the body to develop progression and adaptation.
It is a structured frame of training that combines training variations with specific sets and repetitions, timings, performed within various environments. Itfocuses on specific goals to either maintain or improve an individual's fitness performance
In this module you will learn about the various measurements and formulas for calculating the heart rate frequency, calculation of training zones and the difference between low intensity and high intensty aerobic exercise.
The aerobic exercise is defined as training for cardiovascular and respiratory system, but it represents one of the most important factors that affect the lifetime and quality of life.
You will learn about calculation formulas, which are most often used in the practice of personal coaching, namely:
In this module you will learn about the different methods and training systems that are included in the training program.
Anaerobic exercise or anaerobic training represents activities in which oxygen does not supply the energy needs of acting muscles, which means that energy gained for muscle contraction comes from:
You will primarily get to know most commonly used methods of training in personal training, namely:
In this module you will learn about the relationship between:
Healthy relationship between lean body weight and fatty mass is important for maintaining health, and it is also important knowledge of parameters that affect the measurement or calculation of body composition.
You will also learn about the visceral fat (visceral obesity) associated with many cardiovascular problems and metabolic diseases.
With mobility, you will learn why the appropriate mobility through life is in close connection with the maintenance of the functional ability of the body (ability of movement) and preserving independence in old age.
You will learn about the factors that affect the extent of the movement in the conclusions, namely:
In addition, you will also learn about 2 basic techniques for training flexibility, namely:
Lack of mobility is a common cause of damage to the musculoskeletal system. The limited extent of the movement in the conclusions (ROM) is reflected in the demolished body symmetry, shortened muscles tow bones and break down the normal alignment of the body, and the overload of soft tissue occurs.
When working with special populations, you will learn about specific diseases and body conditions and understand the importance when working as a personal trainer with such clients.
You will learn about the specific examples which the personal trainer is most often met with in practice, namely:
When someone thinks about buying a product or service, they will have options to choose from. Why would they choose your product or service? Consumer behaviour consists of how the consumer's emotions, attitudes and preferences affect buying behaviour and we will adreess those questions in the module..
There are four types of consumer behavior:
Increasing activity levels is a process of acquiring new behaviours and giving up old habits of inactivity.
To ensure a degree of reasonably regular participation, experiences of activity and exercise need to be rewarding and positive; they must provide a sense of satisfaction and success.
There will always be issues that can prevent people from being active. The role of the personal trainer is to help people to identify and work through these barriers, so that they can make positive changes.
Business planning is very important if a business wants to survive.
By taking an objective view at your business you can not only identify areas of weakness and strength, but you will also be able to use this information to direct your marketing efforts.
A thorough business plan will also contain the relevant information to produce a cash flow forecast that will allow the business to budget accordingly.
A business plan is useful if you use it. 90% of new businesses fail in the first two years, and this failure is often attributed to a lack of planning.
