As the editors state, "Careers can be found as a health coach, as a personal trainer, fitness center manager, trainer, recreation centers or camp manager." Graduates may "teach physical education, aerobics, strength and conditioning, and more, by earning professional certificates," according to the editors; "Many academic programs offer certification as part of the curriculum."
