Course Description

This course is part of the Procore Safety Qualified Program (PSQ), a series of courses designed to provide education, strategies, and resources aimed at fostering a culture of safety in the construction industry.

Construction professionals have physically demanding jobs. Through the lens of sports science, this course explores the aspects of physical well-being that contribute to your daily and long-term success as a construction professional. You'll learn how to make daily decisions that significantly impact your physical health, treating your body like the pro athlete it is — from nutrition and hydration to injury prevention and quality sleep.

This course focuses on improving physical well-being on the jobsite. Your instructor Lauren leverages her years of experience with construction industry professionals to offer actionable advice on maintaining high levels of physical and mental engagement. The course redefines construction workers as "industrial athletes," highlighting the similarities in physical demands between construction professionals and pro athletes.

The curriculum is organized around three core pillars: nutrition, movement, and sleep. In the nutrition module, participants learn about macronutrients and how to sustain energy through proper diet and hydration. The movement section covers injury prevention, core strengthening exercises, and pre-shift warmups aimed at improving daily performance and long-term health. The final module emphasizes the importance of sleep, offering techniques to enhance sleep quality and duration.

By the end of the course, learners gain tangible skills such as meal planning for energy, effective warmup techniques, and sleep strategies. They walk away better equipped to make daily decisions that positively impact their well-being and job performance, treating their bodies as essential tools in the demanding construction industry.
