Senior Fitness Specialists' Scope of Practice
Senior Fitness Specialists are fitness professionals (CPTs) who perform individualized assessments and design safe, effective, scientifically based, and individualized exercise and conditioning programs for older adults who present with no medical or special needs or who have been medically cleared for exercise. They provide guidance to help clients achieve their personal health, fitness, and performance goals via the implementation of exercise programs, general nutritional information, and suggestions for lifestyle modification. They hold a current emergency cardiac care (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) certification and respond appropriately during emergency situations. Senior Fitness Specialists do not diagnose or treat areas of pain or disease, and they refer clients to other healthcare professionals when appropriate. Senior Fitness Specialists abide by NASM’s Code of Professional Conduct at all times.
