The rising cost of healthcare, an aging population, and concerns about childhood obesity have increased the need for individuals trained in physical activity, fitness, wellness, and health promotion. As healthcare costs continue to rise, insurance companies, employers, and governments are attempting to find ways to curb costs.
One of the more cost-effective ways is to employ individuals prepared to teach people how to become and remain physically active, increase their fitness, and live healthy lives. These employment areas are expected to gain jobs because an increasing number of people are spending time and money on fitness and more businesses are recognizing the benefits of health and fitness programs for their employees. As job opportunities grow, so have the various career specializations and the new trend in the sector is to specialise under a specialization. So, if sports and wellness is an area that excites you, then what are you waiting for? Get ready to start hunting for a specialization that suits your interest.
