Exercise Prescription

#3 Exercise Prescription: Write a 6 week exercise program for a particular population that YOU choose. The program should include, but not limited to, the following:

Ø Population overview

Ø Include demographics for a fake “person” that you will design the program for: i.e.: 26 yr. old male, HT: 5’9” WT: 267 lbs. with Type II Diabetes and family history.

Ø Target HR recommendations (using Karvonen and a percentage of intensity determined by you.) 

Ø Contraindications/risks and special considerations for that particular population.

Ø Warm up/cool down/cardiovascular training, strength training and flexibility guidelines/suggestions. Be creative. Most of the weeks should have different suggestions. 

Ø Sample exercises-pictures

Ø Separate the program into weeks (week 1, week 2, etc.) and write specific recommendations/changes/progression for each week. Use table format with columns/rows.

Ø  The bibliography must include at least 6-8 references from peer reviewed journals. * This is worth 150 pts

Ø Use APA formatting.

Ø Paper will be submitted on Canvas

Ø Paper must be at least 8 pages not including cover page and reference page.  Double spaced.
