ABOUT THE COURSE: This course will take you through fundamental concepts that govern the prescription of a resistance training program. First - we’ll discuss what resistance exercise is - as well as the benefits of this training style. We will then delve into the key training principles that govern program design - discuss the program variables required within a program - and explore how these can be manipulated to achieve a particular outcome. We will finish by discussing the logical structure of a resistance program and what components should be included within the program itself - from start-to-finish. Finally - we will take all of the information we’ve learned and create a step-by-step approach to designing a resistance program. NOTE: A basic understanding of the major systems of the body is recommended before completing this course - particularly the skeletal - muscular and nervous systems.
