Description
This seminar provides health and fitness professionals with a greater knowledge and understanding of how to work with individuals with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), who may have health complications that must be managed during structured exercise training. Considering that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is systematically increasing worldwide, personal trainers and exercise physiologists working in a real-world gym setting need to address several physiological and psychological factors associated with this health condition. Thus, simple assessments, smart warm-up drills, fitness games, partner exercises, progressions and modifications for all primal movements, coaching and cueing techniques will be presented aiming to blend science and application through an interactive case study. The aim of this seminar is the integration of science-based information and hands-on coaching skills for previously inactive individuals with metabolic syndrome, supporting health and fitness professionals to apply customized and effective communication and exercise training strategies in clients demonstrating impaired glucose and lipid metabolism, raised blood pressure and visceral obesity.

Description:
The public health problems caused by physical inactivity, affecting both children and adults, have been seriously documented in recent years. These include the onset of numerous diseases, a reduction in life expectancy, negative psychological effects, and a decline in quality of life. It is estimated that health threats affecting nearly 500 million people by 2030 can be significantly reduced through increased physical activity. The global economic cost of health problems related to physical inactivity is estimated at approximately $47.6 billion annually. Despite efforts by international and national organizations to address this issue, initiatives remain insufficient.
This seminar will present initiatives that should be undertaken by scientific organizations, such as universities, as well as examples for designing exercise programs from sports science for all ages, based on the guidelines of the World Health Organization.
Emphasis will be placed on experiential activities to address modern problems that increase the risks of physical inactivity, such as addiction to mobile phones, problematic internet use, managing a sedentary lifestyle during work, and organizing daily life with physical activities. Emphasis will also be placed on organizing lifestyle habits through physical activities aimed at protecting the environment. The seminar will conclude with examples of utilizing popular forms of exercise, such as walking and jogging, in accordance with recent guidelines, as well as the development of policies to promote physical activity.
