This course makes the relationships within the human organism graspable for everyone. Take a deep-dive into the human body and learn the functions of our organism for your new profession in fitness.
In this subject you will get a close look at energy metabolism needed for muscle activation, the circulatory system and the pulmonary system.
Any high quality education in fitness and exercise begins with the foundations of anatomy and physiology.
In this unit participants are prepared for successful communication with their clients on every level. In addition, we take a look at how the trainer or coach can go about dealing with their own goals and motives, which will in turn help them better understand their clients.
The right goal-setting and the proper approach to feedback are an important parts of this unit.
The way we manage stress as trainers and with our clients and a variety of learning strategies are explored so these skills can be integrated into your professional approach.
In this introduction to training theory we look at the foundations of training plan creation and management, including the principles of training, training methodology and factors that influence sports performance.
Because performance capacity, performance diagnostics, training and competition are so interrelated, they are covered together in this unit.
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.
According to the definition, a fall (Sturz) refers to a sudden, uncontrolled, unintentional descent of the body from lying, sitting, or standing to a lower level. Unfortunately, both the frequency and consequences of falls increase with age. Falls in older adults are by far the most common cause of injuries and the leading cause of accident-related deaths. The reasons for this are varied, ranging from declining sensory organs to coordination impairments and muscular deficits.
In the unit on fall prevention, the causes of increasing fall risk are thoroughly explained, and measures are presented to help reduce the risk of falls and positively influence gait, posture, coordination, and strength. Targeted training is particularly important for seniors, as it helps maintain autonomy and subsequently, quality of life. Participants also learn about tests for assessing fall risk and the methodical development of different training focuses in fall prevention.
In our unit "Training for Specific Medical Conditions" of the Senior Trainer Training, participants learn about various medical conditions that occur more frequently with advancing age. Initially, the course covers the peculiarities of working with seniors and the changes in bodily function systems as the body ages.
Subsequently, exercises are developed collaboratively to assist with typical medical conditions.
The number of older adults is increasing worldwide. This also means that the number of people with age-related illnesses is rising. These illnesses can affect various areas of the body and significantly impact the quality of life of those affected. Some of these illnesses include: arthritis, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimers, and Parkinsons. Illnesses influence our daily lives and often our ability to engage in regular exercise. This is especially true for older individuals who often suffer from one or more chronic illnesses. For fitness studios and trainers, this means they must increasingly address the issue of illnesses and develop the appropriate training methods for their older clientele.
Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor for many chronic illnesses, particularly those of the musculoskeletal system. The passive musculoskeletal system includes bones, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Changes in the passive musculoskeletal system often occur in older people, such as claw toes, bow legs, or age-related kyphosis. These changes can limit a persons mobility and cause pain.
Emphasis is also placed on the methodological approach and age-appropriate instructions. Through targeted training, older adults can improve their mobility and alleviate pain.
Many people suffer from one or more of these conditions and seek ways to improve their health. Fitness is an important component of health and a major factor in the prevention and treatment of illnesses. Medical conditions can be improved through regular and specific training.
Its essential for participants in the unit to receive a clear guide on how to conduct training interventions for the respective medical conditions. Of course, participants are also informed about contraindications.
In this subject of the Senior Fitness Trainer , we will focus on the specific training and adaptation processes in older individuals.
Throughout our lives, our physical abilities change. This is a natural process characterized by the loss of muscle mass, bone density, endurance, and flexibility. Although these changes are inevitable, they can be slowed down through regular exercise.
However, for older adults, it can be challenging to adhere to a regular exercise program. This is due to several factors, including reduced motivation, lower physical performance, and a higher likelihood of injuries. Targeted exercise can help reduce these challenges.
More and more older adults are interested in exercising regularly and staying fit. Its essential that the training is specifically tailored to the needs of older individuals. For those opting for regular strength training in later years, its expected that their bodies will respond differently to stimuli compared to younger individuals. However, there are some principles that apply to training for all age groups and are also significant for older adults. Additionally, the general trainability of seniors is compared to that of young people, and the specifics of training are outlined.
Strength, coordination, and endurance training for seniors is an effective method to improve physical performance. Training not only enhances motor skills but also cognitive abilities.
Furthermore, overall health is improved, and the risk of falls is reduced. Participants will learn about the training goals to pursue, which training content and methods are most suitable for older individuals, and what to pay special attention to during training.
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.
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 a variety of funding options available for training at the 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 help you find 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 (e.g. by AMS) after the funding application has been approved, or they will be fully or partially reimbursed to you after successful completion of the training (e.g. by waff). Please inquire with the funding institutes about how the financing works.
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
If you want to further your education without resigning from your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means you will be granted leave from work for the duration of the further education.
Plan your educational leave with us now! In a personal, non-binding consultation , we will be happy to discuss your individual training needs with you.
You can consume your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
It is important that your employer agrees to educational leave. You must provide the educational plans issued by us for 20 hours per week for full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours for part-time educational leave.
You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of exams or attendance certificates issued by us.
As a senior trainer, you design customized training programs that are tailored to the needs and physical abilities of older people. Your training includes a mix of strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination exercises aimed at minimizing functional decline in old age.
The senior sector offers diverse opportunities to use your skills and experience to help older people achieve a healthier and more active lifestyle.
On our platform Sportkarriere, we regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios. There, you have the opportunity to directly apply for job offers as a fitness trainer, course instructor, instructor, or studio employee.
The differences between the designation "Diplom-Seniorentrainer" and "Seniorentrainer A-Lizenz" mainly lie in the terminology and legal framework, which can vary depending on the country.
In Germany, the designation "Seniorentrainer A-Lizenz" is often used. This license confirms that the holder has obtained the necessary training content and qualifications to professionally care for and train seniors 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. Seniorentrainer" is common, as it is a free term and there are no legal restrictions regarding the use of the term "Diplom". The training also includes the same content and qualifications as the A-Lizenz in Germany.
Regardless of the terminology and legal framework, both the training for "Diplom-Seniorentrainer" and "Seniorentrainer A-Lizenz" provide the necessary knowledge and skills to professionally care for, motivate, and support seniors in their physical development.
Both qualifications are recognized and enable graduates to work safely and effectively as senior trainers.
If you have already completed a training with us and decide to take another course, the module "Sportkompetenz" will be credited to you. Occasionally, individual subjects can be credited when studying at a university. 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, so we offer the convenient option of installment payment. The training to become a senior 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 senior trainer today!
