Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan, instruct and evaluate endurance training programs for clients who have completed industry endorsed pre-exercise screening and risk stratification procedures. It requires the ability to identify and analyse specific client needs, instruct specialised endurance tests, and organise and implement a range of endurance training methods to achieve identified goals. This unit does not cover the more complex methods of extensive speed training, power training, agility training or plyometric training. This unit applies to personal trainers who work in controlled and uncontrolled environments. These individuals typically work independently with some level of autonomy. Work is performed according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
