Active Aging Certificate
This course provides the knowledge and skills necessary to safely and effectively provide physical activity in many settings to this unique population.
Aging & Health
The launch of our Active Aging Certificate program (AAC) is in response to the statistics highlighting that the over 50’s are making up the fastest-growing age group in Canada. With this trend expected to continue for the next several decades, we realize that response to exercise is not age-dependent, it’s mind-dependent. This means that at any age or fitness level someone can respond positively to exercise and nutrition and gain benefits. Our new Active Aging Certification Certificate will cover a wide variety of topics related to aging and the very broad spectrum of clients/class participants.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
- Definition and Physiology of Aging
Janice Hutton/Nicky Coyne - Eating Essentials for Vibrant, Active Aging
Teri Gentes - Managing Age related Changes/Conditions with Exercise
Maureen Hagan - Is Low Back Pain Inevitable?
Mia Jerritt - Active Aging Tips & Tricks – Rapport & Coaching
