Overview

At the Exercise Prescription program offered by University of Connecticut you'll learn about prescribing personalized exercise prescriptions in healthy populations, as well as for those afflicted by chronic diseases and health conditions. You'll develop skills to evaluate a person's overall health before starting an exercise program, and how to incorporate different types of exercise (aerobic, resistance, concurrent, neuro-motor, and flexibility) into exercise plans.

Key Facts

Additionally, you'll gain an in-depth perspective of chronic diseases and special health conditions and how to prescribe the F.I.T.T. (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) principle of exercise prescription to prevent, treat, and manage them. You'll also learn how to develop personalized exercise prescriptions to optimize health, increase physical activity, fitness, strength, endurance, and flexibility, and meet sport performance goals.

Further, our program teaches you how to recognize common medication classes and how they may influence exercise responses. You'll also learn how to perform a scientific systematic review on exercise testing and prescription considerations for populations with chronic diseases and health conditions, as well as healthy adults with special considerations.
