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 webinar, 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 webinar 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 key principles of longevity-focused training and how they apply to program design for aging clients.
  • Apply science-backed tools, templates, and strategies to develop training programs that support the four pillars of longevity: strength, power, mobility, and recovery. 
  • Identify common mistakes and challenges in longevity training and evaluate best practices for improving client outcomes. 

Please note: This free webinar is one hour in length. The material for the free, one-hour portion of the webinar is intended to serve as standalone educational information. However, following the live airing, it will be sold as a two-hour course (worth 0.2 CECs), containing the original content plus one additional hour of related education.
