Exercise And Training Through Menopause
Exercise And Training Through Menopause
This online course is designed to provide health and fitness professionals with the knowledge they need to support their clients through the transitional period of menopause.
Half of the population will go through menopause at some point in their lifetime, with some experiencing symptoms of premature menopause as early as in their 30s. However, it’s still a massively under-supported area in the health and fitness industry.
Very few trainers have any knowledge about the impact menopause can have on an individual physiological and psychological well-being, or how it affects how they train, making it difficult to coach them through the transition. That is why we have designed a course which is the first of its kind in the industry, to improve the understanding of menopause in fitness.
Overview
This course will ensure you develop the essential knowledge surrounding the physiological and psychological changes which occur within individuals during menopause, and the impact these have on exercise, nutrition and much more.
You will gain an understanding of the impact of oestrogen in menopause, and the different types of hormone therapy available.
You'll then progress on to the physiological changes and how metabolism, nutrition, and gut health affect individuals from perimenopause to menopause.
In the second unit, you will learn about the holistic approach which encompasses neurogenesis, psychological well-being, barriers to exercise and how to build a suitable mobility, proprioceptive and stability programme.
You will be supported throughout the course by a team of leading health and fitness experts who will be on hand to answer any questions you have along the way.
The key topics you'll cover in this course include:
- The effect of oestrogen and hormone therapies available
- Physiological changes
- How clients are affected by metabolism, nutrition, and gut health throughout the various stages of menopause
- The importance of pelvic health
- How to implement positive behaviour and psychological wellbeing
- Strategies to overcome the common barriers to exercise
- Developing appropriate mobility, proprioceptive and stability programmes
The tabs above contain more detailed information on the course contents. Alternatively, you can reach out to us via our online chat feature, and we’ll happily answer any questions you might have.
The thing that separates us from other training providers is that all our courses are developed and delivered by a team of elite health and fitness professionals who are leading the way in their industry.
You will be taught through a combination of written materials, interactive learning elements and course videos which help teach important information in an engaging and fun way. Check out the video below for an example of the content you can expect in this course.
