FITNESS ASSESSMENT & TESTING

This is a BLENDED Clinic.

Fitness and sports professionals will receive 12 hours of intensive training in Fitness Assessment & Testing – F.A.T.

Without F. A. T. expertise, a fitness pro will not be able to prescribe exercises accurately and safely! A macrocycle needs to be broken down into mesocycles which in turn comprises microcycles of training. Periodization is the only way to scientifically plan the training cycles.
