Continuing education units
Continuing education units are the units earned from continuing education programs. Credits for continuing education are given to college courses completed within a specific timeframe. These courses must be accredited and a transcript indicating a passing grade is required. Each college credit will earn one CEU. CEUs are also awarded for professional development activities. These activities include professional presentations and industry committee work. These activities may lead to individuals earning up to five CEUs.
The NCSF requires that all exercise professionals must recertify at least every two-years. This is necessary to ensure compliance with the current standards, code and any new data. Individuals must complete 10 continuing education units in order to renew their NCSF certification through CEUS. The NCSF approves continuing education credits. They must be earned through a recognized educational institution. If the NCSF denies approval for a course, applicants can appeal the decision.
Exam fee
If you want to keep your credential current, you can apply for recertification through NCSF. Recertification fees for one credential are $75 and for multiple credentials, $100. You can submit an online application and wait for NCSF to process it. Your credential status will then be updated, and will remain valid up to two years. Your recertification package will contain a new card and an updated certificate as well as information on future CEUs.
The NCSF exam is given by the Prometric company. You can make an appointment online or in person at a testing center. Remote access is possible if you have internet. The exam contains 150 multiple choice questions. The fee for taking the exam varies depending on which NCSF testing center you choose. You will pay a different fee if the NCSF tests you in your own home than if the test is done at a Prometric center.
Special populations covered
A majority of fitness certifications incorporate basic considerations for training specific populations, such as children, pregnant women, and people with chronic diseases. The NCSF, however, has an underwhelming chapter on the topic. In one 15-page chapter, the NCSF covers only a few special populations - diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and working with children. The rest of the information is just a summary and is not covered in detail. Many trainers have this problem.
FAQ
What are resistance training exercises?
Resistance training involves using weights or other objects to perform specific movements. Lifting weights helps strengthen your arms, shoulders, chest and back, as well as your legs, hips, and core. Resistance training builds muscle mass, increases bone density, and promotes greater overall strength.
Is it safe for me to exercise in cold temperatures?
If possible, go outside. However, the temperature of the air is not the only thing that can determine whether you are safe to exercise outdoors. Visibility, wind speed, humidity and precipitation all play a part. Layers of clothing should be worn if you are exercising outside in inclement temperatures.
Is it possible that you can be too thin?
Yes! Both being underweight or suffering from an eating disorder is unhealthy. It is not normal for someone to weigh less than their ideal height. Also, you may feel dizzy, tired, or weak.
What is the importance and benefits of good nutrition for your health?
Our health and well-being depends on our nutrition. A healthy diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and dairy. A healthy diet will help you stay active and fit, which in turn leads to better overall health.
How does caffeine affect my sleeping?
Caffeine can affect how quickly you fall asleep, and how well you sleep. Caffeine causes drowsiness, which makes falling asleep easier. You may stay awake for longer periods, which makes it more difficult to fall asleep. Drinking coffee or energy drinks before bedtime is a bad idea.
