EuropeActive’s Essentials for Personal Trainers provides personal
trainers with the most thorough information and best practices to
help their clients achieve their health and fitness goals. Endorsed
by EuropeActive, the fitness and health industry’s
standard-setting authority in Europe, this manual is essential for
all aspiring and qualified personal trainers and aims towards
EuropeActive’s objective: “More people, more active, more
often.” The information contained in EuropeActive’s Essentials
for Personal Trainers provides aspiring personal trainers with the
basic competencies, skills and knowledge necessary for achieving
level 4 status in the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), the
baseline standards for registered personal trainers in Europe. The
content builds on foundational concepts to provide practical
knowledge and on-the-job examples to personal trainers so that they
can deliver enjoyable and effective services to their clients.
Authored by fitness experts throughout Europe, EuropeActive’s
Essentials for Personal Trainers provides a standard reference to
inform this growing field. The first three chapters describe the
role of the personal trainer, with topics covering professionalism
and presentation, planning a personal training session and
delivering a personal training session. Readers will then learn
functional anatomy with chapters on skeletal articulations and
joint movement, injury prevention and the muscular system. To
understand the science behind exercise prescription, readers will
learn about energy systems, the cardiorespiratory system, the
nervous system and hormonal responses to exercise. Chapters
focusing on lifestyle assessment, including health and fitness
assessment, psychological aspects of personal training and
nutrition, allow personal trainers to understand the unique needs
of the various clients they serve. The book concludes with chapters
on training adaptations as well as exercise planning and
programming. With more and more people turning to professionals for
assistance in their quest for better health and fitness, the demand
for qualified personal trainers in Europe has never been greater.
EuropeActive’s Essentials for Personal Trainers is an ideal
resource for those aspiring to become personal trainers in Europe
and equips current professionals in the fitness industry with the
tools they need in effectively serving their clients. Personal
trainers who achieve EQF level 4 status demonstrate to both clients
and employers that they have all of the pertinent knowledge and
skills to be successful anywhere in Europe.
