A detailed understanding of anatomy and physiology is essential for coaches to understand how the body responds to exercise and how to design safe and effective programming. It helps coaches properly assess students and identify any limitations or potential injuries. A solid coaching education enables coaches to understand and respond to the unique needs and goals of each student, providing personalized and effective training.
