But this tired axiom only tells part of the story. It's also critical to consider HOW you eat, meal frequency, macronutrient ratios, specificity to athletic objectives, and periodizing caloric intake. The government says that the RDA's are the answer. We agree, if mere survival is your objective. But if PERFORMANCE is your goal (or your client's), the RDA's won't cut it. Neither will the 4 food groups. Neither will eating 3 squares a day. Course Price: SGD$899.00 Incorporating a cutting edge, scientifically sound nutritional regimen, however, will radically increase the effectiveness of your performance objectives--resulting in more lean mass, less body fat, and greater energy levels. By learning the science behind nutrition and its effects on performance, muscle growth, and fat loss, you will amaze your clients when they see how quickly they achieve results as they apply ISSA's integrated approach to nutrition. The easy-to-follow text is enhanced by two powerful reference tools. The first of these tools is a 30+-page glossary that includes every food and supplemental nutrient known, explaining the function of each in the human body. The second tool is an incredibly comprehensive section on supplementation, which explains why nutritional supplements are vital to health and well-being and how they can diminish pain, fatigue, lack of endurance, mood swings, and cravings for sugar or fat. Armed with the information packed into this program, you can be confident in your ability to answer most nutritional questions without embarrassment.

Learn proven training methods that can transform the quality of life and health for young people. Help overweight kids lose weight and keep it off. Help kids develop a winning attitude. Learn the principles of sports nutrition for young people. Generation: Y(FT) As many trainers are now discovering, youth fitness is one of the fastest-growing segments in the fitness industry. Countless studies show that children today are in worse shape than at any other time in recent history. The CDC warns that the number of overweight youth has increased substantially in past decades and continues to rise. In a recent USA Today article, Dr. Hugh D. Allen stated that 30 million of the 80 million kids alive today in the USA will die of heart disease as adults, unless current trends change. Despite these facts, schools across the nation spend less and less money on physical education each year. Since schools are doing nothing to combat this problem, we feel that personal trainers are in an ideal position to provide the solution. Personal trainers have an impressive array of fitness knowledge. But young people benefit most from a personal trainer who not only has a general understanding of crucial training principles, but also specific knowledge of how these principles pertain to youth. ISSA’s Youth Fitness Trainer Program is an outstanding certification course designed to provide personal trainers with all the essential tools to train kids and teens, and the necessary credentials to reduce lingering issues of liability. This comprehensive program provides trainers with the knowledge and credibility they need to effectively instruct young people. With a certification in ISSA’s YFT course, trainers can become experts in the field of youth fitness—competent professionals, able to transform our children into a healthier, stronger generation. Course Price: SGD$999.00 What will I learn from the YFT Curriculum?

One of the reasons for the start of this trend is the aging of our population. Water is seen as a gentler medium for seniors and physical therapy patients alike. But aquatic fitness has proven to have uses for elite athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all ages. Course Price: SGD$799.00 How can you get started in this growing and lucrative field? The key to reaping the rewards of this exciting profession is certification. In fact, certification is already required in several states, and many fitness clubs, public and private pools. Physical therapy clinics nationwide have already made certification a requirement for employment. From a public relations and marketing perspective, it's simply the right thing to do.

Course Price: SGD$799.00 "Any public or private fitness/recreation facility must have a competent staff to assist the special needs of individuals requiring an adapted physical program." This certification program is the answer to ensuring compliance with the ADA rules & recommendations. Without properly trained instructors to implement exercise programs to these individuals, clubs and their trainers will be failing these members. If any health & fitness facilities are not prepared to show these individuals how to adapt existing equipment, they will remain programmatically inaccessible and open to lawsuits; thus everyone loses!

This group now constitutes the fastest growing segment of our population. We live in a time that is incredibly exciting for these individuals. At present, medical knowledge is doubling every three years. Research on anti-aging has brought about a profound understanding of the aging process that, for the first time, gives us a choice as to how we age. Expanded knowledge of nutrition, hormone replacement therapy, and environmental hazards has given us a means to retard and actually reverse the negative effects of aging. At the core of virtually every approach to extending the quality and length of life, is exercise. Course Price: SGD$999.00 Each year, hundreds of men and women in their seventies, eighties and nineties participating in marathons and triathlons dispel the old belief that sickness and deterioration are a necessary part of the aging process. Scientific evidence accumulates daily, proving that with regular exercise, older adults can experience good health and vitality for the duration of their lives. Unfortunately, only one out of four older adults regularly exercises, making now the most opportune time in history for fitness professionals to make a real impact. Study after study has shown that older adults are not only capable of strenuous exercise, but can vastly improve their health, strength, mobility and independence, using exercise as a tool. Most of the chronic conditions that afflict older adults stem from inactivity and muscle loss. Science has proven that resistance training is one of the most important factors in reversing these conditions. To be able to restore the capacity to perform ordinary daily activities such as climbing stairs and unloading groceries is incredibly empowering to both the client and the trainer. Now after several years of intensive preparation, the ISSA has brought together some of the finest minds in fitness science to create a breakthrough fitness certification program for trainers who wish to work with older adults. While this burgeoning segment of the personal training market constitutes a lucrative opportunity, the real value is in the joy you'll experience in changing people's lives.

Needless to say, that's all changed now. Six-year-old children are now awarded black belts in dojos across the United States. Since no national governing body exists to regulate standards for ranking, each studio and organization creates its own standards. Unfortunately, standards for training are just as inconsistent as standards for ranking. Course Price: SGD$799.00 The ISSA has designed a unique solution in its certification program for martial arts instructors. Generalized fitness certification courses have existed for over a decade, in fact, ISSA's CFT program was one of the first. But this program is the world's first to address the specific training needs of martial arts professionals. Instructors who have mastered not only their art, but also the principles and methods of scientific sport training, will get the best results from their students. And results, after all, make the martial arts more rewarding for both instructor and student. The SMAC curriculum includes information on periodization and planning, managing acute training variables, performance nutrition and supplementation, improving joint range of motion, mastering principles of sport training, integrating conditioning and skill training, strength and speed-strength development, competition readiness, injury prevention and management, and increasing your clientele.
