moderate/+2 His father smoked cigarettes which means nothing. He smoked cigarettes but quit one year ago. What was the timeline again for quitting smoking? Six months which means it is not a positive risk factor for Roger. He works out 3 days per week for more than 30 minutes which means he is not sedentary, so no positive risk factor there. He has a BMI of 31, which is over the limit of 30 and is considered a positive risk factor. His systolic blood pressure is 142 which is above the cutoff of 140 so there is another positive risk factor. His total cholesterol is 188 mg/dl which is below the 200 mg/dl cutoff, so no risk factor there. This means there is a total of 2 risk factors. Did you memorize how many risk factors are associated with each risk classification? Well Low Risk is less than two so its not low risk. Moderate Risk is greater than or equal to 2 so that becomes Roger's risk classification.

amortization

Your client has met all the prerequisites in order to train in phase 4. To improve power, what phase between the concentric and eccentric actions should be kept to a minimum to produce the greatest amount of muscular force?

In aerobic-efficiency training you introduce intervals that are just above the VT1 or an RPE of 5. In order to allow for adequate recovery time between intervals it is suggested to start with a ratio of 1:3. An example would be 60 seconds harder intensity to 180-second recovery.

Your client has shown the ability to advance her cardiorespiratory training into the aerobic-efficiency phase. What would be the ideal hard-to-easy ratio to begin aerobic-efficiency training?

Vigorous Exercise Vigorous exercise is defined as exercising at a MET level above 6 and performing above 60% of an individual's VO2 max. There is a substantial cardiorespiratory challenge involved, and this level cannot be sustained for very long.

Your client is doing intervals on the stair machine. Each interval contains a portion of intensity in which his MET level is a 7 and he is performing at 70% of his VO2 max. He maintains at this level for 2-minute intervals. What level of exercise is he performing at?

Discontinue exercise, begin actively cooling her and call 911. It is important to begin actively cooling someone who is showing signs of heat stroke as soon as possible. Use cold, wet washcloths, ice packs, or even a cool bath. Once you have begun this process, activate EMS.

Your client is exercising outside on a hot day and becomes confused. She has hot, bright red skin and is having difficulty breathing. She is scared and dizzy. What is the best course of action to take?

If your client can talk comfortably, she is training in zone 1. If she cannot talk comfortably while training, she is working in zone 3.

Your client is walking on a treadmill at 4.0 mph, and on a grade of 5%. Fifteen minutes into the workout, you are asking her questions about how she is feeling. Your client can only answer you with 3-4 words comfortably. What training zone is she likely in?

Observational Learning Exercise behaviors of those people who are closest to your clients are likely to impact the likelihood of your client's success. This is called Observational Learning.

Your client tells you that he wants to get into better shape because his wife loves to play tennis and he wants to be able to play with her. Which principle of behavior change is this an example of?

Help her to a chair, offer an ice pack and allow her to call someone to transport her to the hospital. This is a situation in which the person can make his or her own decision about contacting EMS. It is not okay to diagnose an injury or illness, wrap the injury, or give any medication. Just help the person become more comfortable and offer something non-invasive like an ice pack.

Your client trips over a piece of exercise equipment and falls, twisting her ankle. She cannot get up on her own and it is painful to stand on. What is the best course of action?

The equation for caloric expenditure is {VO2 (mL/kg/min) x body weight (kg) / 1000} x 5 kcal/L/min. Remember that caloric expenditure is calculated in terms of gross VO2 during an activity by estimating the total quantity of O2 consumed per minute and multiplying it by 5 kcal/liter O2. Convert lbs. to kg - 190 lbs. x .4535 kg/lbs.= 86.17 kg(40*86.17/1000) x 5 = 17.23 kcal/min x 30 minutes of exercise giving you 517.02.

-fat deposits in certain areas of the body can be targeted with strength training via spot reduction. *"1st on, last off" : fat sheds in reverse from the order it was stored -women will build bulky muscles weight training -light weight, high rep =muscle tone ; heavy weights, low rep = muscle mass -you can et too old to lift weights -kids are too young to lift -free weights are always better than weight machines -muscle turns to fat when you stop training -strength training is bad for BP

medical history, medications, and supplements, exercise history, illness/injuries, lifestyle info (nutrition, stress, work, sleep, etc.)

what is in the health-history questionnaire?

60-80 bpm

what is normal resting HR?

a thorough medical history and assessment. if exercise is appropriate or if the client should be cleared by a medical professional prior to starting the program. ensures client's safety and provides appropriate guidelines to follow.

what is recommended for clients with a pre-existing injury? what should the trainer be able to determine from this, and what will it ensure?

personal trainers utilize their own waivers in addition to any waivers potentially signed by a client when they joined a fitness club where the trainer is employed. investigation with an attorney prior to creating a waiver, as each state has their own rules regarding waivers.

what is recommended for personal trainers and waivers?

men - 2 - 5% women - 10 - 13%

what is the % of essential body fat necessary in men and women?

design a low to moderate intensity individualized exercise program for the client. maintain close communication with the client's healthcare professionals, and expand their own knowledge in applicable areas question clients and be aware of signs/symptoms that require stopping before, during and immediately after exercise. make sure client can recognize signs as well.

what should trainers working with special populations do?

notify the facility's management and avoid that area until it has been addressed.

when does blood glucose peak? when does it return to normal? eating every ______ helps avoid mental and muscle fatigue

thoracic mobility

when teaching clients bend-and-lift or single leg movements, begin with arms down, as arms up requires a greater degree of ________ which many clients may lack
