In the evolving landscape of fitness and healthcare, the Advanced Medical Exercise Specialist (AMES) Study Group, elevates your skills and knowledge to a higher level. This program, the evolution of the Medical Exercise Specialist Workshop and Certification initiated in 1994, aims to bridge the gap between medical rehabilitation and fitness training.

The Evolution of Medical Exercise

Originally, the Medical Exercise Specialist program focused on transitioning clients from physical therapy into fitness settings, enhancing their functional levels. However, changes in the healthcare system, including further insurance cutbacks and the COVID-19 pandemic, have increased the complexity of clients that fitness professionals encounter.

Case Study Friday

Medical exercise training is managing medical conditions using ONLY exercise. It's not just giving a client with a medical condition(s) an exercise program. As a medical exercise and medical fitness professional are you simply giving the client exercise or are you developing, managing, assessing, and progressing the client based on your assessment? Medical exercise training management is about the client intake, assessment, forms, exercise program, progression, reassessment, documentation, and communication. 

Our case study client is Mrs. Jacobs. She is 79 y.o. and underwent a left hip replacement via anterior approach 4 months ago. She can use a walker independently and climb stairs independently. She has a history of knee arthroscopy, hypertension, high cholesterol, and congestive heart failure. She becomes SOB after 20 minutes of standing due to fatigue. She has follow-up appointments with an orthopedist in 10 days and her cardiologist at the...
