Santa Barbara, Ca (PRWEB) November 25, 2003 -- When health and fitness professionals need to continue their education, they can now go online to study from the world's top educators.

"Physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, and personal trainers need to continue their education in order to keep their license and credentials current, but it's very difficult to take time out of their busy schedules to travel, and hear a lecture from a world renown expert" says Dr. Sal Arria, CEO of the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), a fitness education company based in Santa Barbara, Ca.

"We have assembled some of the worlds leading health and fitness experts together, on one site, to provide online continuing education courses," reports Dr. Arria. "This is important to everyone involved because it also ensures the public that their physician, personal trainer, or health care provider is staying current with the latest research and information on exercise, health, and fitness."

"Medical science has proven that the keys to changing the outcomes of our nations poor health is through weight training, aerobic conditioning, flexibility, nutrition, and prevention," says Dr. Arria. "Unfortunately, most of these classes are not taught in medical schools, so this is a perfect way for proactive health care professionals to learn more about prevention of disease through exercise. More and more patients ask their health care provider questions about exercise and nutrition, so it's important that they have the right answers."

"Some of the courses include Exercise and pregnancy, Sport Psychology, Nutrition, and exercise and Osteoporosis, among many others," Dr. Arria proudly announced. "These professors are literally the who's who of health and fitness." Among them include Dr. Stephen Gordon, Ph D., who served as the Chief of Musculoskeletal Diseases Branch at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for nearly 20 years. Other accomplished experts include; Michael Yessis, Ph.D, Thomas Fahey, Ed. D, Priscilla M. Clarkson, Ph.D, and many more.

Course Topics include; Exercise & Fibromyalgia, Developing Strong Abdominals, Exercise & Pregnancy, Developing a Strong and Flexible Lower Back, Creatine Supplementation, Plyometrics to enhance Strength, Quickness & Speed, Hormones & Exercise and much much more.

Dr. Arria went on to report that these courses are available to anyone who wants to enhance their personal knowledge, in just about any area of health and fitness. "There are no prerequisites, we want to make it easy for the public to learn more about taking care of themselves, " said Dr. Arria. "The more educated the public becomes about the importance of preventing disease through exercise and nutrition, the easier it is to begin changing lifestyle habits," Dr Arria commented.

"Since the classes are online, each course can be started instantly and studied from the comfort of your own home or office," said Dr Arria as he went on to say "... busy professionals no longer need to travel and spend excess resources in order to satisfy their continuing education credits. A truly valuable resource for our students; allowing them to keep more money in their pocket and still provide them with the best education available at the same time."
