Because of focused study, he/she is well versed in all major dietary components and understands the relevant role each plays in successfully managing body weight.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency first aid procedure for a victim of cardiac arrest. It can be performed by trained laypersons, health care or emergency response professionals. CPR is performed on an unconscious individual who is not breathing normally and continued until the underlying cause can be identified and a pulse is restored (called Return Of Spontaneous Circulation or ROSC). The majority of CPR protocols consist of chest compressions and breaths. The intention, in both cases, is the maintenance of oxygenated blood flow to the brain and the heart, thereby extending the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage. This credential enables the instruction of safe and approved CPR.
Fact Check (Fitness and Health Organizations Only)
A periodic exam designed to interpret and document the expertise level of current employees and/or new hires. This program is simple to schedule and implement. It enables fitness club owners to monitor the advice their employees are providing to club members and personal training clients. Any employee weaknesses will be exposed. If a weakness is discovered, appropriate action may be taken prior to a possible client injury resulting from inaccurate or improper advice. At the very least, proper re-training can be implemented so that clients are receiving the best possible fitness and health advice. Revolving subjects include: Anatomy, Exercise Physiology, Exercise Program Development, Food Consultation and Injury Recognition and Rehabilitation.
