The exercise benefits module will accentuate how important being active is to enhancing health and wellness. The goal setting module will detail how you can set effective goals to enhance adherence to an exercise program. The fitness assessment module provides the student with the tools to assess a potential client and provide them with feedback regarding their current fitness and health status. The principles of training and program planning establishes the framework necessary to plan quality programs. In the workout structure unit students will learn the importance of a quality warm-up and cool down and how flexibility is utilized within a warm-up and cool down. Contraindicated stretches will be addressed as program safety should be paramount in planning. The cardio and strength training units will address the importance of these exercise components and their impact on health. Guidelines on how to plan an effective aerobic and strength training program will be discussed. Again with safety in mind, contraindicated strength training exercises are addressed. The stress management section will outline the health impacts of stress and how the student can use exercise and nutrition to mitigate the detrimental effects of stress. Sleep will be discussed as a key variable affecting stress. The nutrition and weight management module will look at how nutrition affects health and well-being, appropriate dietary recommendations, and a healthy approach to weight loss or lean body mass gain. The course will give students the ability to identify quality training programs by applying the principles of training and specific program development concepts. This course is designed so that students receive feedback from their TAs/Instructor on formative elements of a training program catered to a mock case study. When completed, students should be able to utilize the course information to begin to design and tailor a personalized fitness and wellness program to their specific interests and needs. Course content will be delivered primarily through the textbook, course notes, and video podcasts. Additional readings and viewings, accessible via the timeline and the module overviews will periodically be provided to reinforce course material.
