A few more words about this course
Exercise Medicine
The evolution of post-rehabilitative exercise marks the beginning of the integration of exercise with medicine. Our comprehensive course - Exercise Medicine, is a thorough, well researched and documented publication that details exercise programming for over 25 medical conditions. This course incorporates the best of strength training, exercise progression, exercise physiology, and blends them with the basics of physical assessment and laboratory testing.
Progressive exercise used in a medical situation will show improvements in blood lab values independent of medical procedures alone. According to industry leader Jason Conviser, PhD — there is not one cardiovascular illness or behavioral condition that does not benefit from a properly prescribed exercise program. Exercise Medicine allows fitness professionals to learn the elements of medicine and begin to apply exercise principles with referred patients.
Certification may be the next best step for your career — consider the benefit of knowing how to work with any number of clients with medical conditions. Cancer survivors, diabetic or pre-diabetic, seniors, arthritis, and other conditions benefit from exercise. Health insurance providers encourage self-care in conjunction with medical services, and there's a growing need for health and fitness professionals to offer exercise therapy and wellness as part of the continuum of care.
