14: Client Screening & Consultation Flashcards
What is PAR-Q used for?
physical activity readiness questionaire.
Helps identify ‘red flags’ regarding potential risk factors
what are the seven performance variables used to assess your clients?
cardiorrespiratory condition, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, power, speed, agility
what does a VO2 max test assess?
cardiorespiratory condition
name some exercises that can be used for testing muscular endurance of the upper body
Push-Ups or chin-ups
what exercises could be used to test the muscular strength of the core?
plank test, dead bug test, bent knee crunch test
what is the Brzycki formula used for?
finding one repmax using the 10 rep method
a vertical jump is a test for which performance variable?
power
The capacity to move the body in different directions and rapid succession describes which performance variable?
agility
what is a good test for agility?
The zigzag test.
when taking blood pressure, using a cuff, the cuff and monitor should be at heart level true or false
true
what are anthropometrics?
The measurement of the human frame
name four ways to measure body fat
hydrostatic underwater weighing, body plethymethography or bod pod, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)/anthro-impedance, skin-fold caliper
which has a lower density than water, fat or muscle?
fat has a lower density than water and muscle has a higher density than water.
true or false. if someone has more fat they will displace more water because they would have a larger body volume.
true
How many sites does NFPT recommend using for finding body fat using calipers? what are they?
nine sites: chest, bicep, tricep, subscapular, mid auxiliary, abs, suprailiac, thigh, calf
measurements using a caliper should be measured to the nearest what?
millimeter
after measuring all the sights using a caliper how do you figure out body fat percentage?
take the sum of all the sites times 27 and divide by body weight
How often should you reassess using the skin fold test?
every 3 to 6 weeks
what is the formula to find the fat weight of your client using body fat percentage?
body weight X body fat percentage
what is the formula to find the lean weight of your client?
body weight - fat weight
How do you find your client’s resting metabolic rate (amt of energy in calories your body needs at rest) using the NFPT simplified equation?
Lean body weight X 11
what does the US military use for body composition measurement due to ease and low measurement error?
anthropometric measures: neck, waist/hips, height, weight, age
How do you find waist to hip ratio when using anthropometric measures?
divide waist by hip measurement (waist ÷ hip)
when measuring muscular growth and/or fat loss, girth is another word for _______.
circumference
What is the most popular way but most inaccurate when it comes to measuring body fat?
Body Mass Index BMI
(weight lbs ÷ height in.) x 703
Name three types of blood chemistry tests.
blood sugar analysis, ketone testing, lipid profile
If a major risk factor is present with a potential client then what should you do?
a physician MUST be directly involved
What is a CVD risk profile?
cardiovascular disease risk profile
What are the 4 major risk factors that need to be identified up front?
diabetes, health that may interfere with performance of activities in daily living, serum blood cholesterol level less than 180 mg/dcl, irregular heartbeat
What are the 5 steps in risk assessment?
CVD risk profile, PARQ medical history, physician contraindications, current meds, chronic illness or biomechanical impairment
A physician MUST be involved with any of these 4 risk factors:
adverse medical history, cvd profile is over 32, significant and restrictive chronic illness or ROM, persisting contraindications
According to NFPT, short/long, high/low intensity workouts are good for fat loss rather than lean weight increase.
long, low intensity workouts
When must a client sign an informed consent waiver?
Prior to requiring physical activity or pre-exercise tests.
