OVERVIEW

Resistance Training: Theory and Application is organized by Niel Asher Education.

Resistance training is one of the most effective tools available for improving strength, movement quality, physical resilience, performance, and long-term function.

Resistance Training: Theory and Application provides a comprehensive foundation in the science and practical application of resistance training for rehabilitation, fitness, movement, and healthcare professionals.

Presented by Dr. Jason Miller, PhD, this course explores not only which exercises may be beneficial, but why they work, how the body adapts to training, and how resistance training principles can be applied intelligently within professional practice.


Course Overview
Across this 10-hour CE/CPD course, participants will develop a thorough understanding of resistance training principles, anatomy, biomechanics, muscle physiology, exercise technique, program design, recovery strategies, fatigue management, and long-term progression.

The course emphasizes movement quality, appropriate progression, coaching effectiveness, and individualization rather than rigid exercise systems or one-size-fits-all approaches.

Participants will gain a stronger understanding of how resistance training can support rehabilitation, performance, movement efficiency, physical preparedness, and long-term health outcomes while remaining within professional scope of practice.

Supported by extensive video instruction, a fully illustrated workbook, companion course, lesson quizzes, final examination, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a structured pathway into both the theory and application of resistance training.
