Physical Training Methodology Applied to Personal Trainers

The purpose of this book is to guide physical education professionals in their first steps toward working in personalized physical training. Chapter 1 addresses the profile, characteristics, knowledge, skills, and attitudes of personal trainers. Chapter 2 examines the relationship between personalized physical activity and health, its initial concepts, guidelines, and procedures. Chapter 3 aims to understand the guidelines for cardiorespiratory training and its applications in personalized training. Chapter 4 covers concepts and guidelines for prescribing strength and flexibility training. The expectation is that the work will propose methodologies based on scientific principles that can be applied in the development of personalized physical conditioning programs, as well as in the provision and prescription of physical exercises. Finally, it is believed that we are all researchers, because "a researcher is not someone who is in the laboratory every day, but rather a professional who answers simple questions and can solve everyday problems." Remember, knowledge is irresistible!
