If you want to become a professional fitness instructor, you must pass the training examination of the national fitness instructor qualification certificate and the certificate issued by the State Sports General Administration. National vocational training is divided into primary, intermediate and advanced. There are opportunities for exams every month or several months. The test time is basically more than two days, and the test difficulty is not particularly high. As long as you learn the basics carefully, you can easily pass the exam.
Only with this certificate can you have the opportunity to become a fitness instructor.
The content of the national post examination is divided into three parts:
1. Good health
Boys with primary physique should do 40 standard push-ups, 60 squats and sit forward (don't bend over, boys' fingertips should touch their toes for not less than five seconds).
Girls do 15 standard push-ups and 40 squats at one time, and bend forward in a sitting position (without hunchback, girls' wrists touch their toes for not less than five seconds).
The number of male coaches in national middle and senior positions increased by 10 (very standard).
2. Theory
Multiple-choice questions involving human joints, bones, muscles, nutrition and other aspects generally have examination scope.
Step 3: Practice
Practical exercises are divided into three parts: resistance training, stretching (relaxing muscles), aerobic (treadmill, elliptical machine, mountaineering machine, etc. ). Resistance can be divided into free instruments (such as self-weight, dumbbells, barbells) and fixed instruments (such as chest push). Stretching can be divided into active (stretching yourself) and passive (others stretching themselves). Aerobic needs to talk about the essentials of action and various precautions.
The actual exercise adopts the lottery test: resist 14 muscle, draw a muscle to test, and then draw the resistance in the form of free instrument or fixed instrument. Stretch 13 muscles, take one test, and then draw whether the stretching form is active stretching or passive stretching. There is no weight limit in the exam, as long as the action standard is enough, and instructions are given when doing the action.
The national post is an entry qualification certificate of China. I suggest that you take some advanced courses according to your actual situation and career goals, such as foreign training such as ACE, NASM and NAFS-CPT.
1.ACE- American Sports Committee (American Sports Association)
2.NSCA- National Strength and Adjustment Association (National Physical Fitness Association)
3.ACSM- American College of Sports Medicine (American Sports Medicine Association)
4.NASM- National Sports Medicine Research Institute (National Sports Medicine Association)
The country with the best fitness development is the United States, so you can learn more about American courses and open up your knowledge when you have time. After all, there are many new fitness concepts abroad that are worth learning. If you get these certificates, congratulations, you have the potential to become an excellent fitness instructor.
You can take these training exams yourself, or go to a health club or studio to practice. Of course, in order to study more scientifically and systematically, Xiaodong still suggests that you apply to a fitness training institution or college for in-depth study and training. Because in general fitness training institutions, all courses will include the contents of national vocational examinations, and some special courses will be added. You can get some practical special course certificates through the examination, which will contribute to your future career.
