As Ian Dewson knows, Certified Personal Trainers are people who are licensed to be physical trainers for people, athletes and more. They often work in gyms, retirement homes, medical centers and other locations where they can help put people on training programs that are tailored to their needs and body styles. In order to get CPT organization, you must pass an exam that focuses on a number of different areas covered in this field. Below are some of the main topics you would encounter on the CPT Exam.
Functional Anatomy
Functional Anatomy is the study of anatomy and its relation
to function. Here, you study the bones, muscles and organs that guide the
body’s basic movements so that when you help a person train, you know how to
get started right at the source of those functions.
Exercise Prescription
Exercise prescription is the science of prescribing a proper
workout plan for your trainee that will target the necessary muscle groups and
help build them. Certain exercises are created to address specific parts of the
body; and prescribing a routine will help get the desired results.
Training Instruction
Once you have analyzed the functional anatomy of a trainee
and prescribed them a workout plan, the next step is to physically make sure that
those exercises are executed perfectly. This means paying attention to posture
and muscle use in your trainee as they try to make the movements, and make
corrections when necessary.
