The aim of this degree is to showcase the basic knowledge, skills and qualities a modern personal trainer should have to be ethical, efficient and professional on today's work market. Personal trainer's role is extremely important these days, especially due to a very inactive lifestyle and most people's bad physical fitness. Personal trainer's individual approach can be very effective, however, there also needs to be a very broad collection of knowledge and skills for the work to be of good quality. Biological, kinesiological, psychological and sociological knowledge can be listed under this category as well, because a personal trainer is not only a person who plans and executes the training, but also motivates, informs and leads his clients. In addition to basic knowledge, he has the skills to work with special populations, is well versed in sports, has pedagogical, didactic and organizational skills and is able to give proper nutrition advice. Personal trainer’s work has a vast impact on people's lives, so he must be emotionally intelligent to show enough empathy and social skills.
