If health/fitness professionals are going to be able to develop workouts that minimize injury and maximize results, they must be knowledgeable about integrated program design strategies. Covering topics ranging from movement screening to metabolic training, The Eight Essentials of Program Design details the essential components of highly-effective fitness programming, as well as provides practical examples of how these components fit together into exercise programs.
Among Topics Covered:
• Assessment
