Regardless of age or condition adults can safely improve their health and independence through exercise and physical activity. SrFit™ provides advanced training for experienced, certified personal trainers who wish to work with Baby Boomers and beyond (ages 45–63+). With SrFit™, you will gain an understanding of how the aging process affects all the systems of the body, identify dietary changes that may be needed, and develop effective training strategies to improve flexibility, endurance, strength and optimal function in your older-adult clients. You will learn how to individualize a training regimen that fits the physiological capabilities of adults ages 45-63+. This will become even more important as the industry sets standards for personal training, and as the medical community and insurance companies begin to recognize personal trainers as an available option for referring patients who need help with lifestyle change. Thus it is for you that the book was written, now in its second edition! This comprehensive course includes: SrFit (330 pages), 60-page study guide, 2 1/2 hour DVD set featuring Wayne Westcott and a one hour audio CD featuring Tammy Petersen and her husband Mark, a geriatrician. The online exam, which requires a passing score of 80% to earn CEU credit, is also included. Additionally, a wealth of information (more than 300 pages) is provided in cooperation with the National Institute on Aging, which is one of the 27 Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health (www.nih.gov/nia). This material is accessible through a "virtual appendix" in printable pdf file format. This NIA material is also provided in Spanish. Course objectives are: Overall objective: To instruct already certified and experienced personal trainers so they are able to build upon their existing knowledge and skill to safely and effectively work with the ever-growing senior population (Baby Boomers and Beyond, ages 45 - 63+), and more specifically teach the trainer to: 1. Learn and appreciate how the aging process impacts the organ systems, as well as understand the risk factors associated with chronic diseases. 2. Identify dietary changes that may be needed as a result of aging, and also recognize how diet is related to the different chronic diseases that become more apparent as people grow older. 3. Gain knowledge of safe and effective training techniques for the older adult, including guidelines specific to older adult flexibility, endurance and strength training. 4. Be aware of and be capable of conducting comprehensive senior health assessment and fitness testing procedures. 5. Understand chronic diseases and be able to design and modify programs for clients with specific chronic diseases. 6. Identify with what motivates the older adult and discover how to create an age friendly environment. 7. Become skilled at finding and appealing to senior clients, in addition to discovering ways to build credibility and become established as an expert in the field of senior fitness.
