Masters in Evaluation and Programming in Functional Training

The Evaluation of the client is the first decisive step towards the success or failure of their training program!
If a training program is like a suit that must be tailored to the client, the first step is to take the correct measurements, so as not to create a suit that does not fit them!

The objective of the Masters is to provide a fast and effective method of Evaluation for testing the initial conditions of the practitioner before creating a training program for them, and for periodically checking the progress brought about by the program.
A protocol that is the same for everyone is not functional! It is not enough for the instructor to know how to do and how to teach, if they do not know how to program the training in a suitable way!
The training program corresponds to the strategy of action that the Trainer delineates according to the starting conditions of the practitioner and the time that they have available, in order to bring them to their objective in the most effective way possible.

The aim of the Masters is to definitively clarify any kind of doubts about a topic that is too often foggy: providing a clear and effective structure of analysis and action in the creation of short and long-term training programs for various objectives, from Rehabilitation to Athletic Conditioning through to the merely Aesthetic Goals of General Fitness.

What you will learn:

// What the science of training has demonstrated to be the fundamental parameters for creating an appropriate training program;

// What the scientific foundations are for the Evaluation of physical training;

// How to use the evaluation tests of conditional and coordinative capacities by sector to improve the training load;

// How to choose and how to perform the evaluation tests based on the level, the structure, and the objective of the client;

// How to create an evaluation test with the tools of Functional Training that respect the guidelines defined by the target of the athlete;

// The differences between external workload and internal load, and how to adjust them in an optimal way to bring the clients to physical conditioning and avoid the conditions of Overtraining and of Detraining;

// What the parameters for managing the Intensity of the exercises and training programs are, and how to best adjust them according to the level, the structure, and the objective of the clients;

// What extra-training parameters must be managed in order to optimise the Recovery and the process of Supercompensation;

// How to use in-depth knowledge of training theory to utilise exercises of Functional Training to the fullest in the creation of training programs;

// How to use in-depth knowledge of the Anatomy, of Articular Physiology, and of Biomechanics for the prevention of injuries during training;

// How to use in-depth knowledge of training theory to increase performance in athletic sports conditioning;

// How to use in-depth knowledge of the Physiology to increase the muscular and hormonal response in training aimed at aesthetic goals;

// How to use in-depth knowledge of the physiology, of biomechanics, and of training theory to structure effective protocols for training aimed at post-traumatic functional recovery;

// How to structure training programs for groups, and how to adjust the training parameters in order to guarantee results to heterogeneous groups of people.

This Master has not an exam, because for this Master you will receive a Certificate of Attendance, not a Diploma.

Certificate of Attendance at the Masters in Evaluation and Programming in Functional Training that is valid for:

• inclusion in the prestigious Official Register of WTA Instructors and in the Professional Databank (free of charge).
  

The Masters in Evaluation and Programming in Functional Training certification entitles students to training credits towards the following Educational Pathways: 

• Educational Pathways for WTA Specialisation Qualifications: Personal Trainer - Athletic Trainer - Exercise for Health Specialist

On attainment of the Diploma, the Trainer, in addition to receiving the Diploma, is incorporated in the prestigious Official Register of WTA Instructors, within their own region.
This Register, in addition to being the only official document accessible to the public which testifies the real competence of the Trainer, is a true and proper Professional Database which is open both to clients who are looking for a competent Trainer in which to trust, and to the owners of gyms who are looking for Professionals to include in their Instructor Staff.
In fact, the high level of professionalism of the WTA Training, universally recognised since 2009 in all physical fields (from athletic conditioning, to medical gymnastics applications, to purely aesthetic fitness), allows the WTA Trainer to be inserted in any sporting environment in which the functionality of the Movement of the human body is indispensable for the health and efficiency of the person, be they an athlete of a specific sports discipline or a person who wants to recover or improve their state of health and physical form.
To date, the WTA Method, through the great work of over 20,000 Trainers trained since 2009, has been applied with great success in all professional sports, in medical and physiotherapy centres, and in thousands of private and commercial gyms.

In particular, the fields of application in which the WTA Trainer is most in demand are those relating to:

• Conditioning of Joint Mobility, prevention of injuries, and post-traumatic recovery;
• Conditioning of Functional Strength in Sports; 
• High Intensity Functional Training; 
• Increasing biomechanical and neuro-motor skills both for general and specific sports;
• Aesthetic training associated with the improvement of the Posture; 
• Group training for any type of level and target.
