Students will practice their understanding of exercise prescription for children and adolescents, older adults, pregnancy, low back pain, patients with cardiac, peripheral, cerebrovascular, and pulmonary disease, individuals with metabolic disease and cardiovascular disease risk factors, and populations with other chronic diseases and health conditions. Mastery will come from translating client goals and initial assessments to exercise program design and prescription. Students will be able to competently demonstrate and deliver a range of exercise modalities using professional skills and communication and alter the exercise prescription based on the client's needs. At the conclusion of this course, students will be prepared to take the American College of Sports Medicine's Certified Personal Trainers (ACSM-CPT) and Certified Exercise Physiologists (ACSM-EP) exams.
