Exos Reinforces Commitment to Improving Training Outcomes for Clients with Female Physiology through New Partnership with Brianna Battles

Online Courses and Certifications Educate Fitness Professionals on How to Optimize Performance for Clients through the Female Physiology Life Cycle

PHOENIX, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Exos, the global leader in human performance development and coaching, today announces a partnership with Brianna Battles, strength and conditioning coach and founder of Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism, to further advance training education and understanding for performance coaches, physical therapists and other practitioners who train clients with female physiology.

Women make up half the global population, yet for decades have been persistently under-represented in medical and performance research. For the last two years, Exos has focused on researching, working in the lab, and studying athletes with female physiology to develop educational resources for industry practitioners. Exos recently released two exclusive online courses, Optimizing Performance Through the Menstrual Cycle and Optimizing Performance Through Menopause, to help practitioners improve training outcomes for their clients. Intent upon advancing the performance and training industry with research and education across the female athlete's life cycle, Exos has now partnered with Brianna Battles to expand access to Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism, an online certification course that equips personal trainers, physical therapists and other health practitioners to support pregnant and postpartum clients.

"For the last two years, Exos has put an intentional focus on women in work, sport and life," said Amanda Carlson-Phillips, Chief Performance Innovation Officer at Exos. "As the global leader in human performance, we saw this as our responsibility to ensure the performance community is able to best coach, guide and train all clients to optimize their performance. By partnering with Brianna Battles, we can now expand our offering by sharing her expertise in training pregnant and postpartum athletes."

The following courses are now available on the Exos online education store at https://exoslearn.inspire360.com/:

• Optimizing Performance Through the Menstrual Cycle: This course deepens the practitioners' understanding of the impact of hormones on performance and recovery, including how to leverage the menstrual cycle as an ergogenic aid, mitigate the risk of low energy availability, and modify training recommendations throughout the menstrual cycle.
• Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism: This online certification course by Brianna Battles equips personal trainers, physical therapists and other health practitioners to support pregnant and postpartum athletes by making the connection between core and pelvic floor health and athletic performance; teaching how to recognize the client's mental and physical needs before, during and after pregnancy; and providing recommendations on how to adjust training to accommodate the changing needs of the athlete.
• Optimizing Performance Through Menopause: With an estimated one billion people reaching menopause by 2025, this course addresses the physiology and misconceptions behind the transition and teaches practitioners how to customize training game plans to mitigate perimenopausal symptoms.

All three courses are available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, and provide continuing education units through National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and other certifying organizations.

"I'm thrilled to join forces with Exos to further elevate the industry's educational resources through this partnership, expanding access to my Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism online certification course," said Brianna Battles. "Combined with Exos' exclusive courses focused on optimizing performance for athletes through the menstrual cycle and menopause transition, we're working together to better prepare coaches, personal trainers and practitioners to optimize training programs for female clients across their life cycle."
