The UK's ageing population presents both challenges and opportunities for fitness professionals. It's reported, over 11 million people (18.6% of the population) are aged 65 and over, and by 2030, this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million (22%). It's likely that some of your current clients are part of this group, and future clients will increasingly be older adults. As the UK's demographic ages, clients seek an alternative and inclusive method of staying healthy into older age.
This course is designed to boost your confidence in planning exercise programs for older adults. You'll understand their unique health and fitness needs and be equipped to tailor sessions that are safe and effective. You'll learn how to assess an older adult's current fitness and health status, ensuring your training plans are appropriate for their abilities and limitations.
