This course is the second of four exercise prescription courses. Students will advance their study of exercise prescription programming by applying more complex and adaptive exercise methodologies and techniques. Components of exercise prescription that will be addressed include: ethics and professional conduct, the consultation process, recording and tracking client progress, an examination of advanced training and flexibility techniques, weight management, overreaching, assessing posture, low back health, overtraining, detraining, concurrent training, the use of technology in training, and current training trends. Effective learning strategies to be employed with clients will be emphasized. The laboratory component of this course provides the student with significant opportunity to practice these advanced exercise prescription skills techniques, and client-centred exercise support.
