EuropeActive's Foundations for Exercise Professionals provides core
knowledge and industry standards to help exercise professionals
serve their clients. Endorsed by EuropeActive, the continent's
leading standard-setting organisation in fitness and health, this
text is an authoritative guide for current and future exercise
professionals and training providers in Europe. The book uses
scientific foundations to cover concepts and hands-on skills that
promote best practices in exercise instruction and training. The
content applies to all levels of the European Qualifications
Framework (EQF) and associated job titles-the only resource to do
so-and matches the core information for EQF levels 3 and 4. Thus,
this instructional guide ensures smooth movement and work transfers
among employers, educational institutions and countries in Europe.
Written by renowned experts in exercise and sport sciences and
framed in the European Register of Exercise Professionals' Code of
Ethical Practice for exercise professionals, the text offers
several practical features for readers: Easy-to-apply instruction
accompanied by 88 full-colour photos and 68 illustrations offer an
ideal visual learning experience. Complete descriptions and images
detail proper form for common free-weight and machine-resistance
training exercises. Explanations and recommendations are included
for the most popular cardiorespiratory exercise equipment. Official
nutrition recommendations prepare professionals to address clients'
concerns. The complete Code of Ethical Practice serves as a guide
for all exercise professionals in Europe. EuropeActive's
Foundations for Exercise Professionals begins by covering the
bones, joints, muscles and cardiovascular system to ensure a proper
understanding of the body's movement and physiology. Readers then
learn the components of exercise theory and prescription, including
energy systems; body composition; resistance, aerobic and
flexibility training; warm-up and cool-down; and the principle of
progression. The book helps professionals become role models in the
industry with information on managing lifestyle through physical
activity, health, nutrition, hydration and safety. After gaining
foundational knowledge, readers will look closer at the role of the
exercise professional, starting with building rapport, motivating,
screening and assessing clients. The final chapters discuss the
basic aspects of training: exercise technique using weight
machines, free weights and cardiorespiratory equipment. Both
aspiring and qualified exercise professionals should keep abreast
of foundational information about all areas of the health and
fitness sector in order to properly serve the industry and their
clients. EuropeActive's Foundations for Exercise Professionals is
an ideal reference for promoting physical activity, making
lifestyles healthier and guiding clients toward their fitness
goals.
