Course Modules
Fundamentals of Medical Fitness Modules
Move through the 17-module sequence with clear status, estimated time, and content-type indicators for reading, video, applied learning, and assessment work.
Course Introduction
Introduces the course, preserves the Module 1 introduction and glossary wording, includes the Glossary of Terms video, and presents the exact uploaded Module 1 quiz.
Fundamental Principles & Universal Algorithm
Builds the first-principles foundation and Universal Algorithm framework learners will use before condition-specific exercise programming decisions.
Initial Consultation and Screen
Frames the initial consultation, preparticipation screening, and ACSM screening resources as the intake foundation for safe medical-fitness programming.
Aerobic Exercise Program Design Guidelines
Builds aerobic assessment, initial program design, FITT-VP prescription, training-domain selection, and benchmark-driven progression skills.
Exercise Prescription Variables for Resistance Training
Builds resistance-training prescription-variable reasoning using objective and subjective intensity, RPE/RIR, working-set decisions, load, sets, repetitions, rest, exercise order, and progression tolerance.
Resistance and Balance Training Program Design Guidelines
Builds complete resistance and balance program-design reasoning using assessment, familiarization, flexible periodization, objective benchmarks, case application, and balance-training decisions.
Trigger Point and Flexibility
Builds trigger point release and flexibility assessment into practical program-design decisions using discomfort ratings, tool selection, joint range-of-motion categories, stretching methods, and muscle creep.
Example Resistance Training Program Design
Builds a complete example resistance-training program design from session readiness through warm-up, core training, workout tables, weekly structure, progression, and practical adjustments.
Proper Exercise Technique
Builds a full Chapter 9 learning path around proper exercise technique, trainer feedback, cueing, lower-body control, rowing and pressing mechanics, and Figure 9.1 exercise examples.
Nutrition
Builds the full Chapter 10 nutrition learning path with complete source wording, all eight tables, six figure/chart groups, video support, an applied case, and a ten-question quiz.
Tailored Fitness Assessments and Program Design for Special Populations
Builds the full Chapter 11 special-populations learning path with complete source wording, referral scenarios, Figure 11.1, Figure 11.2, Table 11.1, video support, an applied case, and a ten-question quiz.
Musculoskeletal Conditions and Osteoporosis
Builds the full Chapter 12 MSK and osteoporosis learning path with complete source wording, 27 extracted images, corrected figure and table numbering, app-native tables, video support, an applied case, and a ten-question quiz.
Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Conditions
Builds the full Chapter 13 cardiovascular and pulmonary learning path with complete source wording, corrected learner-facing table numbering, an extracted hypertension image, app-native tables, video support, an applied case, and a ten-question quiz.
Common Metabolic Conditions – Diabetes and Obesity
Builds the full Chapter 14 metabolic conditions learning path with complete source wording, the diabetes medication-style image, 11 app-native tables, video support, an applied case, and a ten-question quiz.
Older Adults and Cancer Survivors
Builds the full Chapter 15 older adults and cancer survivors learning path with complete source wording, the cancer staging image, 11 app-native tables/forms, Figure 15.6 as an app-native form, video support, an applied case, and a ten-question quiz.
Common Neurological Conditions
Builds the full Chapter 16 neurological conditions learning path with complete source wording, three source images, eight app-native tables, video support, an applied case, and a ten-question quiz.
Tying It All Together: Adherence, Periodization, and Success
Integrates adherence, periodization, the universal programming algorithm, lifestyle medicine, and progress-as-tolerated decisions as the course capstone.
