The second half of this unit Im zweiten Teil der Trainingslehre wird das Training als komplexer Handlungsprozess und im Zusammenhang mit Planung, Ausführung und Evaluation definiert und bewertet.
Ein wichtiger Teil der Trainingslehre ist nach wie vor die Trainingsplangestaltung, die mit Beispielen über die Möglichkeiten einer Trainingsplangestaltung praktisch vermittelt werden.
Um das Thema der Trainingswissenschaft zu vertiefen, laden wir regelmäßig internationale Top-Dozenten wie Univ. Prof. Dr. Paul Haber und Prof.em. Dr.phil. Dr.med. Dr. hc Jürgen Weineck zu uns in die Academy ein.
Unter anderem sind sie für die Bücher "Optimales Training" (Jürgen Weineck) und "Leistungsphysiologie" (Paul Haber) in der Trainingswissenschaft bekannt.
The subject "Didactic principles of teaching and learning movement in children" deals with the pedagogical methods and strategies that are important for the effective teaching of movement skills to children. In this subject, teachers and educators are trained in how to plan, organize and implement age-appropriate movement activities for children. Both theoretical and practical aspects are covered, including the adaptation of teaching methods to the individual needs and abilities of children. The aim is to enable teachers to make movement learning motivating, safe and effective for children in order to promote their physical development and health.
Coordinative abilities describe skills that are primarily determined by processes of movement control and regulation. According to Weineck (2014), these enable a person to master motor actions (movements) in predictable (stereotype) and unpredictable (adaptation) situations safely and economically and to learn movements quickly. The greater economy provided by well-developed coordinative skills allows the same movements to be performed with a lower expenditure of muscular effort, thus saving energy. In addition, well-developed coordination makes it easier to learn new sport motor skills. Coordinative skills include orientation skills, reaction skills and rhythm skills.

A balanced and healthy diet is crucial for children to support healthy growth and normal development. In the subject of childrens nutrition, participants are introduced to the four nutrition phases of childhood. This includes discussing nutrition errors and their consequences, such as obesity and food intolerances.
A healthy diet for children should be balanced and varied, taking into account all nutrients. Children should consume sufficient amounts of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, and legumes, as well as healthy fats and carbohydrates. It is also important to limit processed and sugary foods, as well as saturated and trans fats.
Children should also drink enough water to stay hydrated. Sweetened beverages like soda and fruit juices should be avoided as they contain a lot of sugar. Dairy products are a good source of calcium and other nutrients but should not be consumed in excess. A healthy breakfast is an important meal for children as it provides them with the energy and nutrients they need to start the day. It can also help improve concentration and learning abilities. A balanced breakfast meal could include oatmeal, whole grain bread, fruits, and dairy products.
Furthermore, children often need additional food to meet their energy needs. Snacks and light meals can help with this, but it is important to choose healthy options. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt, and whole grain products are good choices to satisfy hunger.
The course participants will examine the current nutritional status of children in Austria using statistics. Based on this, the principles of healthy childrens nutrition will be discussed in terms of dietary recommendations, breakfast and snacks, and eating according to traffic light colors. With practical tips and tricks, as well as great recipe examples, the participants will ultimately gain a foundation for practical application.
The classic running, as it is widely spread and popular as a hobby sport, is not effective with children. When training with children, it is important to avoid monotony in order to prevent movement stereotypes from developing. Fun comes first! Therefore, when training children in running, it must always be done in a playful manner to provide plenty of variety. With countless variations of games, the appropriate training session can be planned for any desired endurance goal.
In addition, technical skills and coordinative components are in the foreground in order to create a qualitative foundation. Only then does the development of conditioning and energetic abilities follow. This ensures a healthy motor development and prevents damage to the musculoskeletal system. The Running ABC is ideal for technical training. The basic exercises of the Running ABC include heel kicks, knee lifts, skipping runs, and much more. These can be expanded with various additional elements, such as coordination ladders or cones, to create new stimuli.
The varied, coordinatively demanding, and playful running is much more fun for children than running in circles monotonously. Satisfied and balanced children are beneficial for everyone involved: the coaches, the parents, and of course the children themselves. And ultimately, as coaches, we want the children to come back!
Children differ from adults in their physiology. Their bodies are still in a process of development and undergo numerous changes to grow into an adult body. This includes not only hormonal changes, but also changes in the brain and nervous system, motor skills, and the active and passive musculoskeletal system. The cardiovascular system also undergoes changes during childhood and adolescence, which is why blood pressure, thermoregulation, respiratory rate, and VO2max play a role.
During the lecture, consequences of physical inactivity such as postural weaknesses, overweight, and circulatory regulation disorders are discussed. Participants are informed about the consequences and health risks of these manifestations and learn how to consider them in exercises, as well as other common issues such as childhood asthma and growing pains.
Some characteristics of the special physiology of children include:
Overall, children have a unique physiology that is constantly changing and evolving. It is important to consider these differences in order to maintain and promote the health and well-being of children.
Childhood obesity is a growing problem that has long-term health implications. Regular exercise can help children achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. However, it is important that the training is tailored to their needs and abilities. In the training for overweight individuals, our participants learn about the physiological and psychological effects of childhood and adolescent obesity. They learn about the possible causes of obesity and the interventions available. Nutrition training and psychosocial training are examined in more detail, but the focus is specifically on exercise training.
Children with overweight should become accustomed to a program that takes their physical abilities into account. One possibility is to start with simple activities such as walks or bike rides. Participants learn which endurance sports effectively and safely increase basic endurance and how to best improve strength and coordination. Parents and guardians should support the children by accompanying them during training and motivating them.
The training should also be diverse and include various activities to make it enjoyable for the children and to avoid boredom. This includes games, sports, or dance classes that the children can try out. The training must be regular and continuous to maximize the health benefits.
In addition to physical benefits, training can also improve childrens self-confidence and social skills. When they achieve success through training, children can gain self-confidence and develop a love for movement, which can also lead to enjoyment in other activities. They learn to work as part of a group and develop social skills such as communication and cooperation.
In summary, training with overweight children is important to help them achieve and maintain a healthy body weight in the long term. Parents and guardians should tailor the training to their childrens abilities and needs and offer a diverse range of activities to keep it interesting and motivating. Through training, children can also improve their self-confidence and social skills, leading to long-term benefits for their health and well-being.
Postural weaknesses are often already pronounced in young children. These can lead to postural imbalances, especially in growing children, which become more difficult to correct with training as they get older. To prevent these postural weaknesses from becoming problems, it is important to start with correct training early enough. In children, these postural weaknesses are often caused by everyday imbalances, one-sided strains, and ergonomically unfavorable behavior patterns.
A common observation is excessive kyphosis in the thoracic spine, where the shoulders slump forward and the back becomes rounded. By targeted training of the core and back muscles, posture can be improved and future complaints can be prevented.
As part of the lessons, our participants learn to recognize various postural weaknesses and their causes. Subsequently, they are equipped with the necessary knowledge to counteract them. For postural weaknesses, various training measures such as swimming, running, or ball games are suitable. But the training method strength endurance can also lead to postural improvements with special back training, stabilization training with body weight, or with small fitness equipment. Participants learn which exercises are particularly effective and develop a training session for children with postural weaknesses of the spine (lordosis and kyphosis).
Training for postural imbalances should be tailored to the individual needs and conditions of the child. It is important that the training is carried out regularly and under expert guidance. The training should consist of exercises to strengthen the core muscles, stretching exercises, and also coordination exercises.
The basic module of sports competence is approved by the state central office for distance learning (ZFU) under the following number: 7324018c. The ZFU is the central office for distance learning in Germany and operates on the basis of the Distance Learning Protection Act (FernUSG). It decides nationwide on the approval of distance learning courses to guarantee a technically correct and overall professional distance learning course.

Children trainers design and lead playful movement and sports activities, both indoors and outdoors, specifically tailored to the needs and abilities of children. Their main goal is to prevent obesity and improve childrens motor skills.
An essential part of the work of children trainers is to identify possible postural problems in children and take measures to counteract them. In addition, they actively support children in developing their coordination skills.
Promoting healthy nutrition is also an important aspect of their work. For example, they can inform parents about the nutritional needs of children and provide them with tips for a balanced diet.
Children trainers can work in various places, especially as self-employed certified children trainers. They have the opportunity to collaborate with various clubs, kindergartens, and schools. In collaboration with these institutions and/or parents, they can develop and implement holistic health concepts for children.

On our platform Sportkarriere, we regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios. There, you can directly apply for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor, or studio employee.
The differences between the designation "Diplom-Kindertrainer" and "Kindertrainer A-Lizenz" mainly lie in the terminology and legal framework, which can vary depending on the country.
In Germany, the designation "Kindertrainer A-Lizenz" is often used. This license confirms that the holder has acquired the necessary training content and qualifications to professionally care for and train children in sports activities. The use of the term "Diplom" is legally protected in Germany and is subject to specific licensing requirements.
In Austria, on the other hand, the term "Dipl. Kindertrainer" is common, as it is a free term and there are no legal restrictions regarding the use of the term "Diplom". Here, too, the training includes the same content and qualifications as the A-Lizenz in Germany.
Regardless of the terminology and legal framework, both the training for "Diplom-Kindertrainer" and "Kindertrainer A-Lizenz" provide the necessary knowledge and skills to professionally care for, motivate, and support children in their physical development.
Both qualifications are recognized and enable graduates to work safely and effectively as childrens trainers.
If you have already completed a training with us and decide to take another course, the module "Sportkompetenz" will be credited to you.
In the case of studying at a university, individual subjects can occasionally be credited. For example, in a medical education, experiences can often be used to recognize subjects such as anatomy and physiology. If your training comes from another adult education provider (such as Online Trainer Lizenz, Vitalakademie, etc.), an individual evaluation is required to determine if credits are possible.
We want to make it easier for you to invest in your future, which is why we offer the convenient option of installment payment. The training to become a childrens trainer can be easily paid in monthly installments without any down payment or additional interest.
If you are interested in an individual payment plan, do not hesitate to contact our Flexyfit team directly. We are happy to assist you and find a solution that best suits your needs. Invest in your future and start your journey to becoming a childrens trainer today!

Parents and guardians should tailor the training to their childrens abilities and needs and offer a diverse range of activities to keep it interesting and motivating. Through training, children can also improve their self-confidence and social skills, leading to long-term benefits for their health and well-being.
Postural weaknesses are often already pronounced in young children. These can lead to postural imbalances, especially in growing children, which become more difficult to correct with training as they get older. To prevent these postural weaknesses from becoming problems, it is important to start with correct training early enough. In children, these postural weaknesses are often caused by everyday imbalances, one-sided strains, and ergonomically unfavorable behavior patterns.
A common observation is excessive kyphosis in the thoracic spine, where the shoulders slump forward and the back becomes rounded. By targeted training of the core and back muscles, posture can be improved and future complaints can be prevented.
As part of the lessons, our participants learn to recognize various postural weaknesses and their causes. Subsequently, they are equipped with the necessary knowledge to counteract them. For postural weaknesses, various training measures such as swimming, running, or ball games are suitable. But the training method strength endurance can also lead to postural improvements with special back training, stabilization training with body weight, or with small fitness equipment. Participants learn which exercises are particularly effective and develop a training session for children with postural weaknesses of the spine (lordosis and kyphosis).
Training for postural imbalances should be tailored to the individual needs and conditions of the child. It is important that the training is carried out regularly and under expert guidance. The training should consist of exercises to strengthen the core muscles, stretching exercises, and also coordination exercises.
The basic module of sports competence is approved by the state central office for distance learning (ZFU) under the following number: 7324018c.

It decides nationwide on the approval of distance learning courses to guarantee a technically correct and overall professional distance learning course.
As a recognized institution in adult education, our curricula are regularly evaluated and recognized by government institutions and funding agencies. We are constantly striving to exceed current quality standards in order to guarantee you the best possible training. See for yourself our certifications.
There are various funding opportunities available for education at Flexyfit Sports Academy. Regional and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.
However, we would like to point out that the decision on the allocation or amount of funding is solely the responsibility of the respective funding agency.
We are happy to assist in finding a suitable funding agency and provide all the course information you need for a funding application. You will need to submit the application itself to the funding agencies.
You can find an overview of the most important funding agencies here.
Depending on the funding institute, the training costs will either be directly covered after the funding application has been approved (e.g. AMS), or they will be fully or partially reimbursed to you after successful completion of the training (e.g. waff). Please inquire with the funding institutes about how the financing works.

Children trainers design and lead playful movement and sports activities, both indoors and outdoors, specifically tailored to the needs and abilities of children. Their main goal is to prevent obesity and improve childrens motor skills.
An essential part of the work of children trainers is to identify possible postural problems in children and take measures to counteract them. In addition, they actively support children in developing their coordination skills.
Promoting healthy nutrition is also an important aspect of their work. For example, they can inform parents about the nutritional needs of children and provide them with tips for a balanced diet.
Children trainers can work in various places, especially as self-employed certified children trainers. They have the opportunity to collaborate with various clubs, kindergartens, and schools. In collaboration with these institutions and/or parents, they can develop and implement holistic health concepts for children.
Depending on their preference and specialization, children trainers can focus on conducting training sessions and workshops with children or giving lectures. The decision lies with the children trainers themselves.
On our platform Sportkarriere, we regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios. There, you can directly apply for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor, or studio employee.
The differences between the designation "Diplom-Kindertrainer" and "Kindertrainer A-Lizenz" mainly lie in the terminology and legal framework, which can vary depending on the country.
In Germany, the designation "Kindertrainer A-Lizenz" is often used. This license confirms that the holder has acquired the necessary training content and qualifications to professionally care for and train children in sports activities. The use of the term "Diplom" is legally protected in Germany and is subject to specific licensing requirements.
In Austria, on the other hand, the term "Dipl. Kindertrainer" is common, as it is a free term and there are no legal restrictions regarding the use of the term "Diplom". Here, too, the training includes the same content and qualifications as the A-Lizenz in Germany.
Regardless of the terminology and legal framework, both the training for "Diplom-Kindertrainer" and "Kindertrainer A-Lizenz" provide the necessary knowledge and skills to professionally care for, motivate, and support children in their physical development.
Both qualifications are recognized and enable graduates to work safely and effectively as childrens trainers.
If you have already completed a training with us and decide to take another course, the module "Sportkompetenz" will be credited to you.
In the case of studying at a university, individual subjects can occasionally be credited. For example, in a medical education, experiences can often be used to recognize subjects such as anatomy and physiology. If your training comes from another adult education provider (such as Online Trainer Lizenz, Vitalakademie, etc.), an individual evaluation is required to determine if credits are possible.
We want to make it easier for you to invest in your future, which is why we offer the convenient option of installment payment. The training to become a childrens trainer can be easily paid in monthly installments without any down payment or additional interest.
If you are interested in an individual payment plan, do not hesitate to contact our Flexyfit team directly. We are happy to assist you and find a solution that best suits your needs. Invest in your future and start your journey to becoming a childrens trainer today!
