Today and future training
Today, more and more people work in offices,have longer work hours, use better technology and automation, and are requierd to move less an a daily basis.
This new enviroment produces more sedentary people, and leads to dysfunction and increased incidents of injury including chronic disease, low-back pain, knee injuries and other musculoskeletal injuries.
In working with today’s typical client, who is likely to be decondiotioned, the fitness professional must use special consideration when designing fitness programmes. An integrated approach should be used to create safe programmes that consider functional capacity for each individual person.

Flexibility Training
Cardiorespiratory Training
Core Training
Balance Training
