People First, Training Second: Understanding the Human Behind the Client

March 11, 2023 8:15am • Session 316 • Lecture

Presented by Tasha Edwards, MS

Personal trainers spend lots of money on certification and continuing education. However, in our quest to offer the most comprehensive programs, we sometimes forget that we are training people with issues, beliefs and fears. We also tend to impose our goals on them. In this session, you'll learn to get to the root of your client's needs and develop plans that meet them where they are. You'll also identify and discuss the issue of non-compliance and learn ways to listen, support and redirect clients to their ultimate goal and not ours.

Improving Trip- and Slip-Resisting Skills in Older Adults

March 11, 2023 10:25am • Session 335 • Lecture

Presented by Jan Schroeder, PhD

Exercise interventions that reduce fall risk focus primarily on strength and balance training. However, according to the concept of training specificity, the motor skills required to avoid a trip- or slip-related fall may be improved most with skill-specific training. This workshop will introduce you to exercise movements that improve slip- and trip-resisting skills in your fall-prone clients.
