I was thrilled when my friend Mark Young told me he was working on a new project related to understanding fitness research. In the fitness industry, we have fitness professionals and trainers that come from all aspects of life. Because of this, we have many that are exposed to research in formal educational programs, but we also have many who enter the profession without any formal training other than the information provided by their certification program.
Many trainers lack the benefits of understanding and interpreting research that is required to keep your thinking and programming current (remember when lactate was a bad thing?). To keep pushing the fitness industry forward, trainers need to constantly grow their knowledge base and develop a powerful filtering system to determine what is effective, evidence-based methodology and what is not.
Mark Young’s How to Read Fitness Research is that filtering system.
Mark takes you step-by-step through the processes of locating the research, understanding each component of a published research study, and then teaches you how to interpret the research. You’ll learn and retain more from How to Read Fitness Research than an entire semester course in research design.
We’ve needed this product for a long time. I can assure you that the summer interns at IFAST will be going through this program.
By the way, you’ve got until midnight Friday the 22nd to steal this program away from Mark at a discount. I suggest you get it now.
