As a professional fitness instructor, I have always been concerned about the "four certifications", namely, American Physical Fitness Association NSCA, American Sports Medicine Association ACSM, American Sports Committee ACE and American National Sports Medicine Association NASM.
These four certifications are recognized by the global fitness community and are the most credible professional qualifications of coaches at present, representing the professional level of coaches. Getting certified has always been my goal.
In fact, the professional level of the four major certifications is neck and neck, and their respective focus directions are slightly different. One is enough. The reason why NASM-CPT course is chosen is that besides basic sports subjects, it also contains relevant clinical medical knowledge, which is more targeted at sports injuries and rehabilitation, as well as training for special people, and is more suitable for a wider range of people.
What is the focus of this training for ConocoPhillips Fitness? OPT mode (the best sports performance training mode) is also a unique and recognized gold medal training system of NASM. It is a complete training plan specially designed for people with relatively unbalanced training structure and vulnerable groups, which can systematically provide comprehensive knowledge and ability such as human sports science, functional evaluation and sports program design.
I have gained a lot through this NASM-CPT course. The coaches who participated in the training all had a certain teaching foundation. By learning OPT model, integrating the existing basic training knowledge structure and optimizing training ideas, we can help us improve our teaching ability and the ability to write training plans, and break through the training bottleneck period faster.
