PHOENIX, May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Exos, the global leader in human performance
development and coaching, today announces a partnership with
Brianna Battles, strength and
conditioning coach and founder of Pregnancy & Postpartum
Athleticism, to further advance training education and
understanding for performance coaches, physical therapists and
other practitioners who train clients with female physiology.
"As the global leader in human performance,
we saw this as our responsibility to ensure the performance
community is able to best coach, guide and train all clients to
optimize their performance." - Amanda
Carlson-Phillips, Chief Performance Innovation Officer at
Exos
Women make up half the global population, yet for decades have
been persistently under-represented in medical and performance
research. For the last two years, Exos has focused on researching,
working in the lab, and studying athletes with female physiology to
develop educational resources for industry practitioners. Exos
recently released two exclusive online courses, Optimizing
Performance Through the Menstrual Cycle and Optimizing Performance
Through Menopause, to help practitioners improve training outcomes
for their clients. Intent upon advancing the performance and
training industry with research and education across the female
athlete's life cycle, Exos has now partnered with Brianna Battles to expand access to Pregnancy
and Postpartum Athleticism, an online certification course that
equips personal trainers, physical therapists and other health
practitioners to support pregnant and postpartum clients.
"For the last two years, Exos has put an intentional focus on
women in work, sport and life," said Amanda
Carlson-Phillips, Chief Performance Innovation Officer at
Exos. "As the global leader in human performance, we saw this as
our responsibility to ensure the performance community is able to
best coach, guide and train all clients to optimize their
performance. By partnering with Brianna
Battles, we can now expand our offering by sharing her
expertise in training pregnant and postpartum athletes."
The following courses are now available on the Exos online
education store at https://exoslearn.inspire360.com/:
- Optimizing Performance Through the Menstrual Cycle: This course
deepens the practitioners' understanding of the impact of hormones
on performance and recovery, including how to leverage the
menstrual cycle as an ergogenic aid, mitigate the risk of low
energy availability, and modify training recommendations throughout
the menstrual cycle.
- Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism: This online certification
course by Brianna Battles equips
personal trainers, physical therapists and other health
practitioners to support pregnant and postpartum athletes by making
the connection between core and pelvic floor health and athletic
performance; teaching how to recognize the client's mental and
physical needs before, during and after pregnancy; and providing
recommendations on how to adjust training to accommodate the
changing needs of the athlete.
- Optimizing Performance Through Menopause: With an estimated one
billion people reaching menopause by 2025, this course addresses
the physiology and misconceptions behind the transition and teaches
practitioners how to customize training game plans to mitigate
perimenopausal symptoms.
All three courses are available in English, Spanish, French and
Portuguese, and provide continuing education units through National
Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and other certifying
organizations.
"I'm thrilled to join forces with Exos to further elevate the
industry's educational resources through this partnership,
expanding access to my Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism online
certification course," said Brianna
Battles. "Combined with Exos' exclusive courses focused on
optimizing performance for athletes through the menstrual cycle and
menopause transition, we're working together to better prepare
coaches, personal trainers and practitioners to optimize training
programs for female clients across their life cycle."
