Course description: 

This course is designed for health professionals seeking to understand the basic physiology behind resistance training. This basic knowledge is then applied to training methodology, including practical examples of both equipment-based and bodyweight tools and exercises. Additionally, this course covers the benefits of resistance training in subjects with chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and cancer.

Learning objectives:

1. Explain the physiological principles underlying muscle adaptation to resistance exercise.
2. Apply learning principles and instructional design techniques to develop training sessions.
3. Design personalized resistance training programs tailored to individuals with chronic conditions, incorporating appropriate modifications and safety considerations, and demonstrate the ability to guide clients through a sample resistance training session while monitoring and adjusting exercises based on individual needs and health status.
