Course Summary
Ageing is not a decline — it is an adaptation process that can be slowed, and even reversed, through intelligent exercise. This course provides the knowledge and practical skills to design safe, functional training programmes that enhance mobility, strength, balance, and independence for older adults. You will learn how to assess physical ability, adjust intensity, and motivate clients to stay active and confident well into their later years.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
– Explain the physiological effects of ageing on movement and performance.
– Conduct functional assessments and identify key focus areas.
– Design safe, progressive exercise programmes for older adults.
– Communicate effectively and coach with empathy and empowerment.
