As clients age, preserving muscle mass, mobility, and overall function becomes essential for maintaining independence and reducing injury risk. However, fitness professionals often face challenges in designing science-based programs that promote longevity. Adults begin to lose 3-8% of muscle mass per decade after age 30, with power declining at an even faster rate, contributing to increased fall risk and diminished quality of life (Janssen et al., 2002; Reid & Fielding, 2012).
This course, led by Jan Schroeder, PhD, offers an evidence-based framework for longevity training, combining strength, power, mobility and recovery. You’ll gain actionable insights to develop programs that support your clients’ long-term health and functionality. With the active aging market projected to reach $140.8 billion by 2028 (Grand View Research, 2021), this training equips you with essential tools to meet a growing demand.
Whether you work with older adults in group settings or through one-on-one sessions, this course provides the expertise needed to make a meaningful impact.
Upon completion, you will be able to:
-
Explain the foundational principles of longevity-focused training and their application to program design for aging clients.
-
Apply science-backed strategies that support the four pillars of longevity, strength, power, mobility, and recovery, to enhance functional movement and resilience.
-
Implement targeted mobility drills and power training techniques to improve flexibility, coordination, reaction time, and reduce fall risk.
-
Design a progressive Longevity Training System with built-in tools, templates, and scalable modifications to meet a range of client fitness levels while avoiding common programming pitfalls.
