Our Exos online continuing education course takes a deep dive into understanding and supporting your client’s well-being during the pivotal stage of menopause.
The number of people estimated to be menopausal by 2025 is one billion. Yet, most of us are ill-equipped to work with and customize our performance training gameplans to meet the needs of this growing demographic. With a long list of debilitating symptoms – disrupted sleep, changes to body composition, hot flashes, and night sweats – athletes and clients entering menopause require knowledgeable coaches and trainers with the knowledge and tools to mitigate the severity of the symptoms and provide support and empowerment.
Through our Exos-exclusive online continuing education course, you will be equipped to optimize the performance of female athletes and clients through the perimenopausal transitions.
As the global leader in human performance, Exos saw this important research on athletes and the effects of hormones and the menstrual cycle on performance as our responsibility to ensure our community is equipped to best coach, guide and train athletes and clients with female physiology.
Yes and no. You will no doubt understand the gameplan components we discuss, but the nuance of which ones to prioritize and how to manipulate variables to mitigate the most common symptoms is beyond the XPS material.
XPS taught you what the tools are; this course will teach you the specifics of how to apply them to the clients you support. In particular, you will learn about a very unique foundational element we recommend: The Psychological Reframe.
While perimenopause typically begins in the 40s and menopause occurs in the early 50s, understanding the perimenopausal transition could greatly enhance your approach with anyone who is, or will experience menopause.
Understanding the physiology of menopause, the debilitating symptoms, and strategies needed to mitigate those symptoms will also help you begin this discussion when it would be most beneficial … as early as possible! You’ll learn more about the role cycle tracking and training can play in their 20s and 30s to pave the way for a better experience in the 40s and 50s.
If you coach athletes and clients with female physiology, this online professional development course is for you. While the course addresses the physiological and psychological changes people experience during perimenopause, the information is highly relevant for anyone interacting with clients approaching and navigating this transition. Understanding menopause is crucial for creating a more empathetic and effective environment, which can help you better support your clients.
