What is the BEST expresses the primary purpose of certification and licensure regulations? - Standardization of "Threshold to enter" requirements for the industry What is the MOST accurate depiction of the progression shown in the Functional Movement & Resistance Training element of the IFT model? -
In the Cardiorespiratory training phase, progresses toward improvement fitness by introducing intervals to improve cardio? - Phase 2: Aerobic efficiency training What are the two types of training components of the ACE IFT Model? - The "umbrella liability policy" best describes the coverage provided by this kind of insurance? - Supplemental or additional coverage added onto other kids of polices Which of the following is LEAST likely to be part of the scope of practice of the Group Fitness Instructor? - Performing screenings for disease and injury In the instance that a participant slips on the deck pool while on site what coverage is used? - Liability Insurance Group fitness Instructors work on a day to day basis with apparently healthy clients. As such, their work should be limited by their education, training, and state laws. A term used to define the roles of different players in the health and fitness continuum is - Scope of Practice If an instructor is injured during work hours they are covered by? - Worker's compensation A fitness participant is injured during a group class. Which type of coverage would protect the instructor in the event of a legal suit by the participant? - Professional Liability Insurance The term _________ refers or means position away from where the limb is attached to the body.
Refers to a position away from the mid line. - Lateral A position close to the center or mid line of the body. - Medial Refers to the front of the body. - Anterior The ______________ is a subjective four-point scale that reflects an individual's perception of the difficulty of breathing during physical activity, with 1 reflecting mild difficulty that is noticeable to the exerciser but not an observer, and 4 reflecting severe difficulty that forces the individual to stop exercising. - dyspnea scale Which of the following would be covered by professional liability insurance? - An injury to a participant who lost his balance during a yoga pose Encouraging participants to move through a yoga sequence with the freedom to explore variations at a pace that feels right for them BEST describes which style of teaching? - Practice style of teaching Which of the following statements about using the dyspnea scale as a method that can be taught to class participants to help them monitor exercise intensity is MOST accurate? - Participants can be taught the dyspnea scale to gauge the appropriateness of breathing difficulty The ___________ style of teaching provides opportunities for individualization and one-on-one instructor feedback, while still effectively providing instruction. Participants often work on the same task and at their own intensity to guarantee success - Practice The __________style of teaching relies on participants to provide their own feedback. Record results, comparing their performance - examples of instructors who emphasize Target Heart rate or recovery heart rate - gauge measures Ratings of perceived exertion talk test incorporate this style into teaching. Rowers, treadmills,and cycling machines. - Self-Check Describes the brains ability to gather and retain information and knowledge - patterns of choreography. Applying knowledge positively affects motivation. - Cognitive Domain Describes emotional behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes. Overall feelings regarding health and motivational attitudes in general will shape a person's feelings about exercise. - Affective Domain
Refers to those activities requiring movement. Learning new motor skills forms the basic foundation of most group fitness classes. - Psychomotor Domain Motivation is a complex topic, but one that directly relates to long term adherence to physical activity will need to have one of two types of motivation. Motivation that comes from and external source outside of oneself is a ________? Examples water bottles or a type of prize. - Extrinsic To be motivated in an exercise content that the participant inherent pleasure and experience that comes from the engagement in itself. activity associated with a positive attitude and emotions. - Intrinsic Movements are new to the participant, who acts as novice. Errors and imperfect form maybe the norm. Correct breathing can be an issue in this stage. - Cognitive Stage of Learning Includes improvements in the basic fundamentals of the skill. More consistent and the individual is less likely to make errors. - Associative Stage of Learning The skill becomes autonomic or habitual. Learners can perform without following an instructor and can detect their own errors. SKILL BECOMES A HABIT! - Autonomous Stage of Learning Guidelines for Hydration during exercise is to drink approximately _______ before starting exercise? - 500-600 ML Guidelines for Hydration during exercise is to drink approximately _______ during exercise? - 200-300 ML consumed every 10 to 20 minutes Guidelines for Hydration during exercise is to drink approximately _______ after exercise? - for every .05 kg of body weight loss, approximately 500 ML of fluid should be consumed to replace lost fluids. Participants who are aware of how they position their bodies in space is known as? - Spatial Awareness An instructor using the ___________ style of teaching makes all the decisions about posture, rhythm, and duration, seeking imitation by all participants. Warming up and cooling down. Pre- Choreographed class - still offering pro/re-gressions. - Command
Extend Many clients have few opportunities to move through complete ranges of motion during the day. Therefore, they can greatly benefit by introducing full ranges of motion, even if (and perhaps especially because) the cardio workout they will be performing will not. - Use Full Range-of-motion Movements The hips and upper spine are designed to rotate more than other parts of the body. If these areas lose that ability, other parts may be required to do more rotating than they are designed to do (for example at the knees and lower back). Therefore, find ways to add mobility to the hips and mid- upper back. - Rotate Have your clients spend some time moving the body laterally. Side-to-side movements can wake up lateral stabilizers, resulting in better control and protection for when they do move straight ahead. - Move Sideways What are the benefits of Myofascial release and self massage? - Elimination of stored tension in muscles, reduce aches and pains and increase circulation Why should clients be wary of applying too much pressure or staying on a sore spot for long periods of time? - They may inadvertently damage the muscle and/or fascia. Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons given for the decline in boot camp's popularity? - Intensity is usually not high enough Large-group personal training typically includes up to _____ clients sharing time with one trainer. - 15 Which of the following describes a typical Bikram yoga class? - 90 minutes; 26 poses; 105ยฐ F; 40 percent humidity Exertion-related heat illness and heat stroke can occur at a core temperature of _________ or higher. - 104ยฐ F Which of the following is NOT one of the researcher's three recommendations for improving the safety of Bikram yoga sessions? - Encourage participants to wipe off sweat frequently
According to a study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science (2010), endurance-trained athletes who added strength training to their programs improved their endurance capacity by increasing __________________. - Type 2 muscle fibers Research has demonstrated that specific explosive-type strength training leads primarily to ____________. - Neural adaptations Endurance sports largely focus on __________ movements, which can create imbalances in the body and increase the risk for injury. - Linear For endurance athletes, be sure to incorporate __________ movements into the training plan to improve balance, stability and mobility, and to prevent injury. - Multiplanar Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons given for the decline in boot camp's popularity? - Intensity is usually not high enough The results of this study found that providing healthier food choices and increasing opportunities for physical activity successfully reduced the number of people considered overweight or obese by almost ____ percent. - 9 Which of the following is NOT one of the characteristics of healthier employees? - Higher wages For each trial in this study, subjects walked at a constant speed of _____ miles per hour (mph) because it is typically a comfortable walking speed for unfit individuals. -
