by Morc Coulson (Author)
"Teaching Exercise to Children" is for all those individuals who prescribe exercise programmes to children of ages 10-16, in schools, gyms and after-school clubs. The only book on the market to combine both current theoretical and practical aspects, its content is linked to the Health and Fitness National Occupational Standards and the Qualifications Framework requirements for Teaching Exercise and Fitness for Children. The author backs up the theory with multi-skills session plans, which are graded by age and illustrated with photos and clear illustrations. With sections on child development and the legal issues involved in coaching children, this book is the bible for all those studying or already teaching exercise to young people.

Book Overview: Children's activity and fitness is a specialist area of the Skills Active qualifications and is delivered in almost every health club in one format or another, so this has the potential to be taken on as core material. There is a lack of material available that presents both the relevant up-to-date information relating to the legal, physiological and practical application of children's exercise guidelines. The area of Children and Exercise Strategies is the author's doctorate specialist area, and so he can guarantee the most current research available. Range of practical tips and 'Did you know?' boxes. Visual layout, with illustrated sample exercise sessions and photos. Will appeal to Primary Care Trusts and NHS and Strategic Health authorities, all of which employ 'Health Trainers' who are required to have skills in teaching exercise to children and in child development.
