The Foundations of the Fitness & Wellness Program will cover six important sport and medical modules which are designed to highlight the essential topic-based components of designing fitness programs.

The purpose of this program is to empower those who wish to work at fitness centres, health clubs, public and private gyms with the required skills and knowledge, serving different age groups.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to work as a fitness instructor after acquiring in-depth knowledge about different sciences related to fitness and wellness such as anatomy, sports training, biomechanics, sports injuries, sports physiology, and sports nutrition.

Graduates may find employment in a variety of sport settings including:

• Fitness Centers
• Health Clubs
• Public Gyms
• Private Gyms

1. Anatomy of Human Body: At the end of the course, the participant will have the knowledge of skeleton and muscles of the human body ligaments, tendons, and joints. Studying of anatomy plays an important role in the field of sports because it provides knowledge about body structure and how humans move.

(6 hours)

2. Sports training: Sports training is the physical loads or in other words, all the efforts exerted by the body that results in adaptation, whether functionally or formatively which positively affects the internal organs of the individual and raises his level. At the end of the course, the participant will have knowledge about training load, the exercise reps as well as the rest time. (8 hours)

3. Exercise physiology: It is the study of how the body responds and adapts to physical stress. Sport physiology is the application of exercise physiology principles to guide training and enhance sport performance. Exercise and sport physiology overlap significantly, and therefore are generally considered together. It helps the physical instructor to understand the reaction of human body for different exercises such as body weight exercises, resistance exercises, and endurance. (6 hours)

4. Sports Biomechanics: It is a quantitative based study and analysis of human movements of professional athletes and sports activities in general. It can simply be described as the physics of sports, or the application of motion’s law on human movement to understand the muscles and joints and the way our bodies perform movements. (6 hours)

5. Sports nutrition: Sports nutrition can be defined as the application of nutrition knowledge. It is a form of practical daily eating plan focused on providing the fuel for physical activity, facilitating the repair and rebuilding process, It involves following hard physical work, and optimizing athletic performance in exercise. (6 hours)

6. Sports injuries: Sports injuries occur during exercise or while participating or performing a sport. Children are particularly more prone to these types of injuries. At the end of the course, the participant will have the knowledge about several kinds of sports injuries and the pathologic process that interrupts training or competition and may lead the athlete to seek medical treatment.
