Program learning outcomes and content
Pregnancy is one of the most extraordinary things a woman can experience, but it often comes with plenty of complications. Each trimester brings its own challenges, and there can also be issues after birth. As a personal trainer, it’s your job to understand the many biomechanical and physiological changes that occur in pre and post-natal clients to get a better idea of their needs.
Health and safety considerations are essential in any industry, but you should be more aware of them when working with pre and post-natal clients. Potential complications could arise, and personal trainers are responsible for ensuring their clients enjoy a safe and secure exercise experience. In this unit, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of your responsibilities towards your clients, what duty of care means, how to implement it, and how to recognise limitations.
Understanding the Nutritional requirements for pre and post-natal clients:
Pre and post-natal clients will always require more support with their fitness needs, and practical exercise sessions are the key to ensuring your clients get the best possible results. Exercise can reduce the risks of labour complications and prevent the need for a caesarean (Science Daily). Safety is paramount when supporting pre and post-natal clients with exercise. This module teaches you how to design effective programmes without putting your clients and their babies at risk. You’ll be able to consider each client’s needs and risk factors, ensuring a great experience.
Numerous complications can arise during pregnancy, including infections, the risk of pre-eclampsia and high blood pressure. However, people also forget about post-natal complications, including stitches, sore and swollen breasts and weight gain. All these complications can cause problems, and exercise has its risks – but it’s your job to identify and manage them. In this module, you’ll learn how to effectively identify and address potential risks so your client can enjoy exercise and return to their goal weight.
With a personal tutor on hand to help you learn with us, we ensure that you are not alone during your studies.
