Integrated strength training (SEN)
Strength training is an essential component of health promotion, injury prevention and performance enhancement. The integrated strength training module covers the three main forms of training: equipment, small equipment and outdoor training.
The focus is on targeted strengthening of the upper and lower extremities as well as the core muscles, tailored to the needs of older people. In addition to the safe use of classic training equipment such as the leg press or the rowing machine, the functional use of Therabands, dumbbells and everyday objects is also taught.
Special emphasis is placed on suitability for everyday use: the focus is on exercises to prevent falls, to promote walking safety and to cope with typical everyday situations such as standing up or carrying. Participants also learn how to design individual strength circuits and adapt training concepts to different performance levels.
