This course covers a variety of seated exercises that can be tailored to suit different abilities and goals. Participants will gain insights into the effects of aging and learn the importance of adopting a person-centred approach when designing exercise sessions.

Research shows that chair-based exercises play a crucial role in supporting older adults by enhancing independence and mobility. These exercises can also contribute to fall prevention, making them a valuable tool in maintaining overall well-being.

This qualification is ideal for Care Home and Flexi-Care staff who support elderly people, equipping them to deliver both group and individual exercise sessions. It may also benefit Community and Homecare staff seeking to promote physical activity among older adults.

Learning objectives:
• Know how to plan an evidence-based exercise class
• Know how to make safe, effective adaptations to allow all individuals to take part
• Understand the impact of aging and the importance of person-centred planning
