Four Cutting-edge Sessions on Youth Fitness, Aging Science, and Behavior Changes
This April 2026, the Maldivian fitness industry takes a bold step forward.
FEA Academy Maldives, in collaboration with the globally respected American Council on Exercise (ACE), proudly presents the ACE x FEA Symposium; a landmark international fitness education event hosted in the Maldives.
For the first time, ACE’s National Spokesperson and Senior Leader for Global Business Development, Anthony J. Wall, will deliver four high-impact sessions designed to elevate youth development, active aging, and behavior change coaching standards in our region.
This is not just a workshop.
It is a defining moment for Maldivian fitness.
Four Powerful Sessions. One Transformational Experience.
Session 1: Youth Fitness - Creating a Culture for a Healthier Generation: This session explores evidence-based youth fitness guidelines, highlighting the physiological and psychological impact of physical activity on children. Participants will gain practical strategies to introduce safe, structured, and developmentally appropriate programs for young populations.
Session 2: Youth Fitness - Putting the “Fun” Into Fitness: Focused on engagement and adherence, this practical session dives into program design using the ACE IFT Model. Learn how to make youth training enjoyable while still structured, effective, and aligned with long-term athletic and health development.
Session 3: The Science of Aging & Exercise Programming for Older Adults: A deep look into aging physiology and the role of exercise in reducing age-related health risks. Fitness professionals will learn how to design safe, evidence-based programs that enhance mobility, strength, and independence in older adults.
Session 4: Understanding Behavior Change: Active Aging & Healthy Lifestyles: Dr. Wall shares insights from his doctoral research on motivation and exercise adherence. This session connects movement, mindset, and lifestyle habits helping professionals support clients in aging actively and living better across decades.
