Strength Training Machines
The subject "Equipment-assisted strength training" is part of the fitness trainer B license training and deals with systematic strength training on stationary training equipment. The focus is on movement control, load control and the individual adaptation of training to different target groups.
Basics
In equipment-supported strength training, the muscles are loaded via mechanically guided movement paths. This enables targeted, controlled strain on individual muscle groups and offers a safe form of training, particularly for beginners, people with restricted mobility or in a rehabilitative context.
Aims of the subject
- Teaching the basic biomechanical principles of equipment training
- Correct equipment settings and exercise execution
- Load dosage according to training goal and performance level
- Recognizing and avoiding typical mistakes when using equipment
Contents
The following topics are covered as part of the course:
- Differences between free and guided strength training methods
- Training planning with stationary equipment
- Introduction to equipment parks and standardized equipment circuit systems
- Training control in terms of repetitions, intensity and regeneration
Application in everyday training
The content of this subject forms a basis for practical work in fitness studios or health facilities. Graduates are able to create and instruct individual training programs with equipment and implement them in a safety-conscious manner.
