Description

The course dives into the all-important topic of Exercise Prescription and Programming. Here, students will learn how to tailor fitness programmes to individual needs and goals, taking into account various factors like age, fitness level, and health status. This knowledge will equip learners with the skills to create effective, safe, and personalised exercise plans.

The diploma also covers Aerobic Exercise and Endurance Training, honing in on how these exercises improve cardiovascular health, increase stamina, and enhance overall fitness. A section dedicated to Resistance Training and Muscle Strength provides an understanding of strength training principles, focusing on the enhancement of muscle power and endurance.

Flexibility and Mobility are equally important elements of any fitness programme, and the Exercise Physiology Diploma does not overlook this. This section discusses the benefits of flexibility exercises and mobility work, guiding learners on how to incorporate these into fitness programmes.

In the Body Composition and Weight Management unit, learners will acquire a deep understanding of the relationship between exercise, diet, and weight control. This knowledge is fundamental in managing one’s own weight and helping others achieve their weight goals.

The Exercise Nutrition and Hydration unit ties in perfectly with the preceding section, shedding light on the role of nutrition in exercise and physical performance. Learners will understand the importance of proper hydration and nutrient intake in maintaining energy levels and enhancing recovery.

The Exercise Physiology Diploma also acknowledges the unique needs of Special Populations. This part of the course covers the adaptation of exercise regimes for individuals with special needs, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and those with chronic diseases or disabilities.

Understanding Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation is key for any fitness professional, and it forms an essential component of this diploma. Here, learners will gain insights into injury risk factors, preventive measures, and the role of exercise in rehabilitation.

Lastly, the course wraps up with a forward-looking unit on The Future of Exercise Physiology. This part of the diploma sparks a conversation on emerging trends, technologies, and research in exercise physiology, preparing learners to adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving field.

In sum, the Exercise Physiology Diploma is a comprehensive, fully online course that offers a deep dive into the world of exercise science.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
