STRENGTH TRAINING FOR OLDER ADULTS 

with Wayne Westcott, PhD 

In our sedentary society, adults and seniors lose about six pounds of muscle tissue 

every decade. This results in reduced resting metabolism and leads to an 

average 16-pound per decade increase in fat. The poorer body composition 

opens the door to a variety of degenerative disorders including heart disease, 

diabetes, many types of cancer, low back pain, osteoporosis and arthritis. 

Fortunately, research shows that relatively brief but regular strength training 

sessions can be highly effective for replacing muscle, recharging metabolism, 

reducing fat and lowering the risk of many degenerative disorders. This presentation 

addresses the important health and fitness benefits of strength exercise 

for seniors, as well as basic research-based guidelines for strength training 

in a safe, productive and time-efficient manner at advanced age. LECTURE.

the legs and core enhances shoulder function, yet all the while must include 

actions requiring force reduction, stabilization, and force production movement 

patterns. This session will integrate proper lower extremity advantages to 

shoulder function. LECTURE.

SrFIT 

AAHF’s SrFit 

program provides 

advanced training for 

experienced, certified 

personal trainers who 

wish to work success 

fully with the older adult. 

This program is approved for 15 contact hours of 

CEU credit by SCW; 19 hours of CEU credit by ACE; 

20 hours of CEU credit by Cooper, ISSA, NASM, 

NESTA, NSCA, SFA and WITS; and 24 hours of 

CEU credit by BOC (NATA). 

SrFit shows you the best ways to develop (or redevelop) 

physical fitness in older adults. We understand 

how to apply physical training in the best ways to 

match the physiology of aging and its often subsequent 

chronic diseases, and will teach you to do the 

same. There are many programs that currently train 

people to be senior fitness exercise leaders, but 

there are fewer training programs that build on the 

expertise of the personal trainer and that require a 

certification in personal training as a prerequisite. 

It seems reasonable to expect that anyone designing 

personalized fitness programs for seniors should be 

a certified personal trainer with extra training for the 

senior population. This will become even more 

important as the industry sets standards for personal 

training, and as the medical community and insurance 

companies begin to recognize personal trainers 

as a viable option for referring patients who need 

help with lifestyle change. This in depth course 

includes a 300 page manual, 60 page study guide, 

2 1/2 hour DVD set featuring Wayne Westcott, a 

one hour audio CD featuring Tammy Petersen with 

her husband Mark, a geriatrician. Instructions for 

completing the online examination and obtaining 

CEU credit are also included.
