NASM Offers Coaches Free Access to Sports Training and Injury-Prevention Courses for Youth Sports Safety Month
The Global Leader in Health and Fitness Education Delivers Free Online Courses to Help Reduce Sports-Related Injuries
(firmenpresse) - CHANDLER, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 04/04/12 -- April is Youth Sports Safety Month, a time to stop and acknowledge the fact that more than 3.5 million sports-related injuries in youth under age 15 are treated in the U.S. each year. These injuries fall into two categories: acute injuries (sprains or breaks that occur suddenly) and overuse injuries, resulting from improper or non-existent training.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the top recommendation in their Guidelines for Preventing Sports Injuries is for the youth athlete to be in proper physical condition to play a sport, rather than expecting the sport itself to get the young athlete into shape.
In an effort to reduce sports-related injuries, the (NASM), the global leader in health and fitness education, is pleased to offer youth coaches free access to the online courses Essentials of Sports Performance Training and Essentials of Corrective Exercise Training, during Youth Sports Safety Month (April 1-30).
Both learning modules are valued at $119 each and are part of industry-leading Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES) and Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) advanced specializations, the preferred training credentials of athletic trainers and strength and conditioning coaches of professional and collegiate teams. In fact, approximately 93 percent of athletic trainers in the National Basketball Association (NBA) hold the PES and CES credentials.
Both courses were designed by Dr. Micheal Clark, NASM Chief Executive Officer and the leading physical therapist for elite athletes the world over. Each is backed by studies conducted at the NASM Research Institute at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, an award-winning research body on youth-injury prevention.
"The NASM Essentials of Corrective Exercise Training course is a great resource for coaches because it teaches how to properly assess athletes for poor posture and muscle imbalances that, if undetected, could result in season-ending injuries," says Clark.
"Whereas the NASM Essentials of Sports Performance Training course teaches coaches how to successfully work with athletes of all sports to enhance performance and decrease the risk of injury," Clark added. "This integrated approach to sports training is not only backed by years of research; it is safe, effective, progressive and forward thinking."
