What is TeleFitness®? |
| TeleFitness® is an online tool
that allows remote access to and management of fitness information and programs using
convenient technology.
What is TeleFitness® Internet Software
Certification? |
| TeleFitness® Internet Software
Certification is an online certification and continuing education course that teaches fitness
and allied health professionals how to use AFAA's patented TeleFitness® Information
Systems, while applying AFAA's updated exercise guidelines and current issues in fitness.
Here's how it works. At any time of day users can log into the course from an
Internet connected computer. Users complete learning activities by reading articles and
viewing pictures then test their knowledge by completing multiple choice and true/false
quizzes. If the user passes all the quizzes within three tries, then the user is a
Certified User of AFAA's TeleFitness® Information Systems.
What are the TeleFitness® Information
Systems? |
Currently, there are several
unique and patented AFAA TeleFitness® Information Systems available at AFAA.com:
- Fitness Triage®
Fitness Triage® is the first step that identifies exercise risks. Fitness
Triage® starts with a fitness or allied health professional answering a 32-item
questionnaire designed to create a profile about an individual's personal health and
disease status. The system then automatically analyzes the data using AFAA's patented
software and displays the results.
First, there is a broad overview of the results using a color-coded classification
system:
- Red (Stop)
- Yellow (Caution)
- Green (Go)
Then, there is a list of links to detailed Fitness Gets Personal® content
information on topics that relate specifically to the individual's age, weight, health,
and/or disease status.
- Fitness Gets Personal®
Fitness Gets Personal® is an extensive database of accurate, reliable information
relating to health, safety, lifestyle risks, nutrition, and exercise. There are multiple
ways to access the database:
- By completing the Fitness Triage® profile, which then generates a list of relevant
topics.
- Searching by keyword, such as "diabetes" or "seniors".
- Browsing the table of contents.
- Browsing the glossary of terms.
- Exercise Gets Personal™
Exercise Gets Personal™ is an exercise programming tool that creates 3 different
levels of a four-week personalized exercise program, complete with warm-up, aerobic
activities, muscle conditioning, flexibility, cool-down, and progress goals.
The user completes short questionnaires about an individual's exercise habits and
activity preferences. Based on the questionnaire, the computer generates week-by-week
exercise instructions.
- Nutrition Gets Personal™
Nutrition Gets Personal is the newest addition to AFAA's TeleFitness® Systems,
designed to generate a customized meal plan based on your client's goals and current health
status. This meal plan can be modified by exchanging individual foods to create several
different versions of the meal plan.
- TeleFitness® Client Management System
TeleFitness® Client Management System is a profile of an individual's results
and information from any of the TeleFitness® Information Systems, including the
utilization of AFAA's Well-Fit Forms™. When someone uses one of the TeleFitness®
nformation Systems, the information is either stored as a profile for future use or,
depending on the user's access level, deleted after the first use.
What Information Systems do the Different Users Access?
There are four different User Access Levels.
- Guest Access Level

Personal® on a free, one-time trial basis. One trial profile can be created,
but it will not be stored. It will be deleted after the first use.

Exercise Gets Personal™. Three profiles can be created during the membership period,
but they will not be stored. The information will be erased after the first use.

Additional profiles may be purchased by TeleFitness® certified users only.
- Certified User's Client/ Corporate Employee Access Level
The client or corporate employee of the TeleFitness® certified user is an
individual who has consented to allow the certified user to complete a profile for him/her
using AFAA's TeleFitness® systems. The client or corporate employee can access
AFAA.com in order to view his/her profile results. However, the client does not reserve
the right or have the ability to modify his/her own profile. All modifications can only
be entered by the certified user. Upon the completion of his/her profile by the certified
user, the client is then activated to view TeleFitness® System content.
