untless studies show that children today are in worse shape than in any other time in recent history. Educational programs designed to increase knowledge and appreciation of the impact of exercise on overall health are virtually non-existent in schools today. Parents, physicians, teachers, and health care professionals have been largely ineffective in their attempts to promote youth fitness. Fortunately, existing trainers are in a perfect position to reverse this unfortunate trend (and increase their client base while doing so). ISSA’s YFT certification program was designed to give anyone interested in making a difference in the lives of our youth all the tools they’ll need to specialize in youth fitness. The YFT curriculum includes comprehensive information about growth and development, resistance training and programming, youth sports, safety issues, teaching skills, as well as extensive coverage of nutrition, exercise, and fitness lifestyle. The course text, Youth Sports & Fitness: A Scientific Approach, also contains ISSA’s Testing and Evaluation Program, a valuable tool for YFT’s.
