【研習分享】ACE-CPT 私人教練第六版更新

ACE 私人教練證照（ACE Certified Personal Trainer, ACE-CPT）在 2020 七月更新為第六版（第五版是 2018），比較大的差異：

• 第五版三本教材改為兩本（保留了《學習手冊（Study Companion）》，但另兩本有調整）。
• 原本的《運動科學精要（Essentials of Exercise Science）》改為一個名為運動科學基礎（Exercise Science 101）的小課程。
• 主教材《私人教練手冊（Personal Trainer Manual）第五版》改名為《私人教練的運動專業指引（The Exercise Professionals Guide to Personal Training）》，在教材編排上看來會是比較大的改版。
• 線上學習系統 ACE Elite 升級為 ACE University，界面與功能性有所提昇。

■ 第六版教材更新內容

​第一部份 Introduction 的部份提前介紹了 ACE 的整合體適能訓練模型（ACE Integrated Fitness Training® Model, ACE IFT® Model）。

第二部份第五版的領導與執行（Leadership and Implementation）原本內容為：

• 激勵與持續（Principles of Motivation and Adherence）、
• 溝通與教學（Communication and Teaching Techniques）、
• 行為改變與健康心理學（Basics of Behavioral Change and Health Psychology）；

到了第六版則改為客戶中心的私人教練方法（A Client-centered Approach to Personal Training），包含：

• 行為改變基礎（Basics of Behavior Change）、
• 有效溝通、設定目標、教學技巧（Effective Communication, Goal Setting, and Teaching Techniques）、
• 前置健康檢測（Preparticipation Health Screening）、
• 健康與健身的營養知識（Nutrition for Health and Fitness）

在第六版第三章的行為改變基礎裡面，比較特別是新提出的 ACE Mover Method™。看得出來 ACE 除了訓練這塊的 ACE IFT® Model，在心理這塊同樣想要建立起品牌的自我系統。

第三部份第六版將第五版原先的 ACE IFT® Model 介紹提前到第一部份，而建立連結（Building Rapport and the Initial Investigation Stage）的這部份心理學內容移到第二部份，其他則沒有太大更動：

• 靜態評估（Resting Assessments and Anthropometric Measurements）、
• 心肺訓練（Cardiorespiratory Training: Physiology, Assessments and Programming）、
• 肌力訓練基礎（Muscular Training: Foundations and Benefits）、
• 肌力訓練評估（Muscular Training: Assessments）、
• 整合運動設計（Integrated Exercise Programming: From Evidence to Practice）

第六版第四部份將第五版的第四部份特殊族群（Special Exercise Programming Topics）、第五部份傷害與急救（Injury Prevention and First Aid）結合為在一起，變成特別考量（Program Modifications for Clients with Special Considerations）：

• 肥胖個案（Considerations for Clients with Obesity）
• 慢性病個案（Considerations for Clients with Chronic Disease）
• 終身的運動考量（Exercise Considerations across the Lifespan）
• 肌肉骨骼問題個案（Considerations for Clients with Musculoskeletal Issues）

不過第五版的第十三章身心運動（Mind-body Exercise）則看不出是被整合進哪裡，又或者被直接刪除了。
​
最後一部分依舊為職業責任（Professional Responsibilities），將原先第五版的十七、十八章：

• 法律指南與職業責任（Legal Guidelines and Professional Responsibilities）
• 私人教練業務基礎（Personal-Training Business Fundamentals）

合併為：

• 法律規範與商業考量（Legal Guidelines and Business Considerations）
