The Correct Answer is: A marathon runner trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon Why? This response is correct because this marathon runner has a performance goal that would be best met with a periodized program that has specific training time spent below VT1, from VT1 to below VT2, and VT2 and above; or Zones 1, 2, and 3 respectively. The Submaximal Talk Test could be administered to help this runner find his or her training heart rate (HR) at VT1, and the VT2 Threshold Test could be used to help this runner find his or her HR at VT2. Once these HRs are known, the personal trainer could build out a periodized training program to help the client increase running speed and stamina to build toward the Boston Marathon goal.

Question: When performing a seated row exercise, you notice the client's shoulders rising up toward his ears during each repetition. What is MOST likely causing this movement error?

The Correct Answer is: Tight upper trapezius overpowering weakness in the middle and lower trapezius Why? When the upper trapezius is tight and the middle and lower trapezius are weak, the scapulae elevate during scapular retraction movements that are seen during exercises such as the seated row. This occurs because the tight upper trapezius keep the scapulae high, pulling his shoulders up toward his ears with each repetition, while the weak scapular depressors (middle and lower trapezius) are not strong enough to overcome the tightness in the upper trapezius.

When considering MHR you need to consider your clients ----genetics, exercise modality due to the difference in exercise and musculature involvement, medications, body size due to smaller individuals having smaller hearts, altitude, and age due to a 1-bpm drop each year. Hydration does not contribute to the inaccuracy of an estimated MHR. c

Which of the following is an example of a positive progression in functional movement and resistance training? a. Standing two-arm cable press to Shoulder bridge b. Lunges to Wall sits c. Wood chop to Pelvic tilts d. Plank to Prone lies on stability ball with torso movements

When progressing in functional movement and resistance training, it is important to start with static exercises and move to movement training. Plank is a static exercise focusing on core. Torso movements on a stability ball focus on the core as well but with added movement, thus progressing the exercise in a positive direction. d

Which training modality cannot utilize a 5% increase in training intensity as effectively? a. Training for muscular strength b. Training for hypertrophy c. Training for muscular endurance d. None of the above

When training for hypertrophy, an individual performs a large number of exercises with short recovery periods, which does not facilitate a simple 5% increase for every exercise. Therefore, when training for hypertrophy, intensity increases are determined on an individual basis. b

Your client Kim just finished a one-minute plank. As she starts to stand, she feels lightheaded and nausea. In this situation, the trainer should have Kim: a. stay in a standing position to encourage blood flow b. avoid hydration to not cause vomiting c. sit or lie down. d. move to a less intense exercise.

When warning signs of nausea and lightheadedness happen, have the person sit or lie down. To avoid fainting, the client should drink plenty of fluids. Fluids help keep blood volume at adequate levels. c

👏In which situation should you call 911? a. A client has fallen and twisted his ankle. b. A member has fallen and hit her head and is responsive c. A client needs to sit down from dizziness after a difficult bout of exercise d. A client is having difficulty breathing and you are unsure of what to do

Whenever you are unsure of what to do in a medical emergency you should call 911. Difficulty breathing is a medical emergency and can turn fatal within minutes, so it is important to call 911 in the case of difficulty breathing. d

All of the following are varieties of whey protein, except: a. Whey protein powder b. Whey casein c. Whey protein concentrate d. Whey isolate

Whey is the liquid remaining after mil has been curdled and contains all of the essential amino acids. Whey and Casein are separate forms of protein. b ??????

locus of control

Which of the following clients has a positive Locus of Control? a. Amy is excited about beginning her program but lets you know that she is very busy. b. Shellie enjoys exercise. She wants to lose 50 pounds but decides to set her goal for 25 in case she can't get to 50. c. Mike sets reasonable goals and shows up enthusiastic every day. d. Jenna sets reasonable goals and is excited about her program. She sometimes has trouble sticking to her fitness goals. 💕A person with a positive locus of control believes they have control over his or her health outcomes and acts in accordance with this belief.

👏It is necessary to call 9-1-1 in all of the following circumstances, except: a. When a client appears to have broken their finger b. When a client has chest pain c. When a client suddenly cannot move their arm d. When a client becomes unconscious

While a broken bone requires immediate attention from a healthcare professional, it typically does not require the activation of EMS. Call the emergency contact listed in the client's file or another individual as requested by the client. a

👏After a client with cardiovascular disease has been cleared for exercise, an initial exercise program should consist of which of the following? a. High intensity, low duration exercises b. Isometric exercises c. Use 2 to 3 sets of 12 to 15 repetitions d. Low intensity endurance exercises

While each client will be different, the majority of clients should begin with low intensity, endurance exercise, like walking, using a stationary bike or low impact aerobics, until they are able to increase in intensity and duration. d

👏Your client is ready to begin squatting with resistance, but has been told many different things on the subject of squatting with the knees past the toes. What is an appropriate movement cue to give your client if the client is squatting with his knees past his toes? a. Never let the knees go past the toes. b. Never letting the knees go past the toes is a myth. c. Keeping your lower leg vertical reduces shearing force. d. Keeping your legs vertical allows less hip stress.

While it is appropriate to avoid excessive forward movement of the knee during squatting and lunging movements, it is a myth that exercisers should "never let the knees go past the toes" while doing a squat or lunge. Keeping the knees vertical will cause an excessive lean in the torso placing 1,000% more hip stress. b

👁️Your client is going on vacation and wishes to run on the beach to keep up with her exercise program. What would be a helpful tip that can help protect your client's lower extremities when she runs on soft, uneven surfaces? a. Wear athletic shoes with cleats. b. Wear athletic shoes that are firm and stable. c. Wear knee braces. d. Supplement running workouts with exercise that dynamically strengthen the foot and ankle.

While it is true that soft surfaces can be easy on the joints, running on too soft of a surface can introduce a level of instability that may actually increase injury potential. The uneven surfaces place an excessive challenge on the foot and ankle to maintain whole-body balance while running. Shoes should also allow for proper mobility control and clients with a history of lower-extremity problems, especially involving the ankle joint, should avoid soft/uneven surfaces. d

Which of the following accounts for the unique position that personal trainers hold in the allied healthcare continuum? Choose One They are able to provide detailed dietary planning to combat chronic illnesses They are at the top of the allied healthcare pyramid due to the extended time they spend with clients They are able to show clients how to exercise effectively while following physicians' general recommendations They are licensed professionals who can prescribe specific exercise programs

While other members of the allied healthcare continuum might also give patients or clients guidelines for general exercise (e.g., "try to walk up to 30 minutes per day, most days of the week"), few of them actually teach clients how to exercise effectively. This is where personal trainers hold a unique position in the allied healthcare continuum. ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p. 6

👏If a client has too many goals or has goals that are too difficult to attain, the client's willpower may fail after only a short period of time. Since willpower is inherently limited, what is a strategy to conserve it? a. Introduce food choices when tired. b. Plan in advance. c. Take barriers as they come. d. Rely on your emotional side to dictate your actions.

Willpower is the ability to ignore temporary pleasure or discomfort to pursue a longer-term goal, and it is a biological function. Having too many goals or goals that are too difficult to attain may, on the first sign of trouble, cause the client's resolve to crumble. 💕Another strategy would be to have the client 💕write in a journal on how he or she would handle barriers to exercise. b

When performing a Static Postural Assessment on your client, you determine that your client has a slight posterior pelvic tilt. This means that the line of symmetry is __________________. a. Tilted Posteriorly b. Tilted Anteriorly c. Neutral d. Tilted to one side of the body

With a 💕posterior pelvic tilt, the line of symmetry is 💕tilted posteriorly, creating a posterior tilt. a

Your new client, Patty, wants to get stronger and lose some weight. She is afraid of developing bulky muscles and is hesitant about exercising on the selectorized weight equipment at the gym. What can you say to Patty to not be fearful of "bulking up"? a. A very small percentage of women possess the genetic potential to experience significant muscle hypertrophy. b. Women are typically smaller in size, and have less muscle tissue than men. c. Women have higher levels of anabolic hormones than men. d. All of the above e. Both a and b only s.

Women have lower levels of anabolic hormones (testosterone) than men. Women can enhance their muscular strength and size with genetic limitations but, with rare exceptions, they will not naturally develop unusually large, muscular physique e

movement analysis

You are in the program design stage of strength development with your athlete client and you ask her to identify the different movement patterns, speeds, and muscles involved in her sport in order to properly conduct a needs assessment. To which option, in the needs assessment, would this information be applicable? a. Movement analysis b. Physiological analysis c. Injury analysis d. Current conditioning level The trainer's responsibility in strength development and program design is to identify the physiological parameters that need to be included in the program to achieve success. The movement analysis allows you to gather information to properly administer a program that will enhance the client's activity or sport.

Howard is a diabetic client whom you have been training for 3 months. While exercising he begins to show signs of hypoglycemia. What is the best course of action? a. Discontinue the exercise and have Howard sit down, give him something sugary to drink and monitor him. b. Give Howard a sugary drink and continue the exercise, monitoring him. c. Have Howard discontinue the exercise and give him a protein bar and diet drink. d. Contact EMS as this is a potential life-threatening situation.

You should discontinue exercise at the first signs of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). It is not yet necessary to contact EMS. It is important to give the person something sugary to eat or drink as opposed to anything with artificial sweeteners or only protein. He should be monitored in case he loses consciousness. a

Larry is a client with whom you have been working for the past three months. During that time, he has cancelled or failed to show up for approximately 20% of scheduled workout sessions with you. Recently, Larry's work commitments have increased and he informs you that he will not be exercising until his work load decreases. In which stage of the transtheoretical model of behavioral change would Larry CURRENTLY be categorized?

Your Choice was: Action The Correct Answer is: Contemplation Why? Larry has relapsed to being physically inactive due to his work commitments, and has regressed to this stage of change. Individuals in the contemplation stage weigh the costs and benefits of lifestyle modification and are often ambivalent about changing. Individuals can remain in this stage for months or years, alternating between approaching readiness to make an effort at change and distancing themselves from it. Larry will have to decide to initiate a new exercise program before he can move back to the preparation stage and eventually to the action and maintenance stages. ACE Personal Trainer Manual (5th ed.), pages 71-72

Mary is a healthy, 43-year-old female with no prior exercise experience. Which initial cardiorespiratory exercise program would be MOST appropriate for her?

Your Choice was: Aim to complete 30-minute sessions 4-5 days per week of moderate-intensity exercise with intervals of varying length and frequency performed above the talk test threshold The Correct Answer is: Begin with continuous exercise as tolerated below the talk test threshold and work up to 30 continuous minutes performed 5 days per week Why? This response is correct because it allows for this currently sedentary client to begin exercising at his current fitness level with a goal to work toward 30 continuous minutes. The exercise intensity of "below the talk test threshold" is also appropriate for this client, as she must develop initial aerobic-base fitness before progressing to longer sessions or intervals. ACE Personal Trainer Manual (5th ed.), pages 398-399 & 422-424

👁️A new member of your health club has been cleared by her physician to begin an exercise program after recently celebrating her 65th birthday. Which of the following exercise parameters is MOST appropriate for her initial program?

Your Choice was: Functional training emphasizing dynamic balance exercises The Correct Answer is: Strength training utilizing low resistance and high repetitions Why? This response is an appropriate program design and initial intensity level for a new client and it addresses the loss of muscle mass and bone density as one ages. To promote strength gains and increases in bone density, a program with more resistance and fewer repetitions is required. However, because this individual is more than 50 years old, the ACSM recommends he begin his program with low resistance and high repetitions. This is the recommendation for older individuals due in part to the fact that as people age their blood pressures tend to rise. Low resistance and high repetitions is the recommendation for resistance training for hypertensive clients as well. After several months of training, a more intense program may be appropriate. ACE Personal Trainer Manual (5th ed.), pages 375-376

A small-group training participant who enjoys the camaraderie of the group environment finds herself feeling as though she cannot keep up with the conditioning level of the other participants. What is the BEST recommendation for the trainer to make for this client?

Your Choice was: Suggest that she drop out of the small-group training class and work one-on-one with the trainer until her fitness improves to the level of the group The Correct Answer is: Offer her the opportunity to switch to another small-group training class that is a better match for her level of conditioning Why? This is the BEST recommendation to make so that she can continue to participate in small-group training, which she enjoys, but at a more reasonable level of conditioning. Reference: ACE Personal Trainer Manual (5th ed.), pages 689-691

At your request, a client visits his physician regarding recurrent leg pain. The physician diagnoses him with sciatica and instructs him to complete physical therapy for his problem. Which muscle is MOST commonly involved with sciatica due to its location relative to the sciatic nerve?

Your Choice was: The Correct Answer is: Piriformis Why? Tightness or spasm in the deep lateral rotators of the hip, particularly the piriformis, can lead to hip and leg pain, since the sciatic nerve often passes through or just inferior to the piriformis and can become irritated by a spasm in the piriformis. ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals, page 45

As you are assessing a new client's static posture from the posterior view, you observe that the medial borders and inferior angle of his scapulae protrude away from the posterior surface of his back. This postural deviation is commonly referred to as 💕"scapular winging." Which of the following muscles should be of PRIMARY focus in his resistance-training program, as it is most likely weak and contributing to this postural deviation?

Your Choice was: The Correct Answer is: Serratus anterior Why? Weakness in the 💕serratus anterior can result in an inability of these scapular muscles to hold the medial border of the scapula in place against the ribs. This is known as 💕scapular "winging" and results in instability in the scapulothoracic joint that can lead to instability and injury in the shoulder girdle and/or shoulder joint. Personal trainers who see scapular winging should help the clients 💕strengthen the 💕serratus anterior, as well as the 💕rhomboids, which are also often weak with scapular winging. In addition, trainers should help clients learn how to "pack" their scapulae by retracting and depressing the scapulae. ACE Personal Trainer Manual (5th ed.), pages 160-162

👁️hip replacement

Your client has had their hip replaced and wishes to begin exercising. All of the following are in accordance with guidelines for individuals with a hip replacement, except: a. The knee can flex at full range of motion. b. The toes should remain straight ahead with no pigeon or duck toes. c. No adduction should be done past the midline. d. The focus should be on leg/hip abduction, lateral movements, and strengthening. The knee should go no higher than hip level or 90-degree flexion. The exercise program should be carefully designed in conjunction with a physician and/or physical therapist. a

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? a. Amortization b. Stretch-shortening cycle c. Anaerobic d. Isometric The amortization phase allows the body's reflexive response to concentrically contract a muscle after it has been rapidly stretched. This allows for greater power as the elastic energy built up in the eccentric phase can then be distributed immediately into concentric contraction.
