The Optimal Aging Paradigm
The aging population presents of variety of needs that fitness professionals have the potential to address, but often lack comprehensive solutions in order to do. While many programs discuss the individual importance of training posture, movement efficiency, resistance, balance, and cognitive training, there has yet to be an approach that fully integrates each component into a unified program. This seminar brings together experts in the primary domains of aging, known as the "Age Well Collective", to usher in a new paradigm for comprehensively addressing the physical and cognitive decline associated with the aging process. During this session, you’ll discover how to assess and integrate posture, movement, strength, power, balance, and cognition into your functional training programs in a seamless programming model.
