This comprehensive starting course develops an understanding of the nature and scope of human health and well-being, and of the health and fitness industry looking at topic such as nutrition, lifestyle, preventative health, and alternative medicine.
Health and Fitness are simply some of many the different words that are used to describe people being in good condition. There are lots of different services and products on offer which promise to improve or keep a state of well-being, and any (or all) of these goods and services might be considered to be part of the health and fitness industry. These can include things as variable as medical services through to sport, recreation and food.
The Health and Fitness industry is not a clearly defined industry. It does have many aspects to it, and it does overlap into many different fields. Your perception of the scope of this field may be limited as you begin this course; but on completing the course it should have broadened considerably; and in doing so your prospects for work should have also broadened.
