You know the importance of good health, but how do you achieve it? And how do you maintain it through the years as your body and lifestyle change, introducing obstacles to physical activity and optimal nutrition? In ACSM's Complete guide to Fitness & Health, you will find the answers and much, much more. The American College of Sports Medicine has created the ACSM's Complete Guide to Fitness & Health to strip away common fads, myths, and misconceptions and provide you with the latest research, sound advice, and age-specific recommendations that you can trust. You will learn these strategies: optimize your weight, improve heart health, and increase aerobic fitness, strength, flexibility, and balance; improve your health by managing diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis and joint pain, pregnancy, and osteoporosis through exercise and proper nutrition; determine your body composition and current cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness levels; monitor, evaluate, and adjust your exercise program over time for optimal results; and introduce exercise, increase physical activity, and improve your diet for more energy and better health (no matter what your age!). Featuring step-by-step instructions and full-color photos for the most effective exercises, sample workouts, practical advice, age-specific physical activity guidelines, and strategies for incorporating exercise into even the busiest of lifestyles.
This online instructor-led course prepares you with the knowledge and understanding necessary to prepare for the American Council on Exercise (ACE) Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certification exam and includes the opportunity to complete an on-site fitness field internship experience to provide real-life job/professional experience crucial for entering the health/fitness industry. Additional supplemental documents are provided complimentary for use to train and design exercise programs for personal training clients.
You will research and find sites of interest with the instructor's help. The internship site coordinator and you will agree to an hourly/weekly schedule that accommodates everyone's schedule. It is reviewed by the instructor and confirmed. The internship site coordinator tracks hours and completes an evaluation form at the end of the internship, confirming hours served and providing you an evaluation. During the internship, you will complete projects and evaluate the site as if you were a fitness/health manager and give the site a final grade for future reference.
Our study is unique in that it included successful recruitment of a large sample of midlife and older rural women with prehypertension, an understudied population that is recognized for having health disparities. This study included complete data for all variables and included two body composition measures (percent body fat in addition to BMI) and an objective measure of estimated cardiorespiratory fitness.
