Special target groups
Good training is never "one size fits all" - especially not when age, stage of life or performance level pose special requirements. in this subject, you will learn how to design training for special target groups safely, effectively and responsibly. You will develop a deep understanding of the physical, hormonal and psychological characteristics of different groups of people and put this knowledge into practice in your training sessions.
The course covers key target groups such as senior citizens, children and young people, women at different stages of life, ambitious clients and training during and after pregnancy. You will learn how to adapt training content to suit the age group and situation, how to manage stress levels sensibly and how to recognize typical risks at an early stage. There is a particular focus on safety, prevention and clearly defining your role as a trainer in relation to medical professionals.
The subject is supplemented by practical content on communication, empathy and motivation. You will learn how to build trust, coach individually and respond professionally to different needs. Case studies, specific training focal points and application tasks will help you to integrate what you have learned directly into your day-to-day training and successfully support your target groups in the long term.
