LESSON 15 - ACE IFT QUIZ Flashcards
The following list presents the four phases of the functional movement and resistance training component of the ACE IFT® Model in their proper order:
Stability and mobility training Movement training Load training Performance training Choose One
TRUE
FALSE
TRUE
Why?
The proper order of the four phases of the functional movement and resistance training component of the ACE IFT® Model is as follows: stability and mobility training, movement training, load training, and performance training.
ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p. 95
During what phase of the functional movement and resistance training component of the ACE IFT® Model is the application of external resistance to functional movement patterns a primary focus?
Choose One
Movement training
Stability and mobility training
Performance training
Load training
Load training
Why?
The focus of phase 3, or load training, is on applying external resistances, or loads, to functional movement patterns. Phase 3 applies the traditional resistance-training methodology for endurance, hypertrophy (or strength-endurance), and strength to the client’s particular goals.
ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p. 100
A client who is in the load-training phase of functional movement and resistance training will be working in the anaerobic-endurance training phase of cardiorespiratory training.
FALSE
Why?
While these two phases both represent phase 3 of their respective training components, it is important to understand that each client will progress from one phase to the next according to his or her unique needs, goals, and available time to commit to training. Many clients will be at different phases of the two training components based on their current health and fitness levels.
ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p.95
It is essential that personal trainers conduct assessments of muscular strength and endurance before a new client begins a stability and mobility training program.
FALSE
Why?
No assessments of muscular strength or endurance are required prior to designing and implementing an exercise program during this phase. Assessments that should be conducted early in this phase include basic assessments of posture, balance, movement, and range of motion of the ankle, hip, shoulder complex, and thoracic and lumbar spine.
ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p.98
During which phase of the functional movement and resistance training component of the ACE IFT® Model should assessments of muscular strength and endurance be introduced?
Choose One
Phase 4
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Phase 3
Why?
During phase 3, or load training, assessments of muscular strength and endurance are introduced to facilitate program design and quantify progress.
ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p. 100
No assessments are recommended during the aerobic-base training phase of cardiorespiratory training.
Choose One
FALSE
TRUE
TRUE
Why?
No assessments are recommended during the aerobic-base training phase, since many of the clients who start in this phase will be unfit and may have difficulty completing an assessment of this nature.
ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p. 102-103
What is a PRIMARY goal of introducing interval training during phase 2 of a client’s cardiorespiratory training program?
Choose One
To help the client exercise at intensities beyond the first ventilatory threshold
To improve aerobic endurance by raising the intensity of exercise
To increase the client’s adherence to the program by improving his or her mood state
To add variety to the program to avoid boredom
To improve aerobic endurance by raising the intensity of exercise
Why?
The goal of interval training will be to improve aerobic endurance by raising the intensity of exercise performed at VT1, and to improve the client’s ability to utilize fat as a fuel source.
ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p. 103-104
A client who is in phase 3 of the cardiorespiratory training component of the ACE IFT® Model is beginning to utilize the three-zone training model based on ventilatory threshold. Approximately what percentage of his time should be spent training between VT1 and VT2?
Choose One
70-80%
< 10%
10-20%
> 80%
< 10%
Why?
The full cardiorespiratory exercise program should be composed of:
Zone 1 (at or below VT1): 70-80% of training timeZone 2 (between VT1 and VT2): <10% of training timeZone 3 (at or above VT2): 10-20% of training timeACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p. 104
Clients working in the anaerobic-power training phase of the ACE IFT® Model generally have goals related to _____________.
Choose One
Short-duration, high-intensity efforts during longer endurance events
Short-duration, high-intensity events requiring explosive power but little endurance
Long-duration, moderate-intensity events requiring great endurance
Long-duration events of a nearly constant speed and intensity
Short-duration, high-intensity efforts during longer endurance events
Why?
Clients working in this phase of cardiorespiratory training will be training for competition and have specific goals that relate to short-duration, high-intensity efforts during longer endurance events, such as speeding up to stay with a pack in road cycling.
ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th edition, p. 105-106
What is the most important goal when working with special-population clientele?
Choose One
To reach the stage of resistance training during which external loads are introduced, as this will improve their performance of activities of daily living
To move them through the various phases of the ACE IFT® Model with the ultimate goal of improving fitness and performance
To provide them with initial positive experiences that promote adherence through easily achieved initial successes
To teach them the importance of daily exercise and continuing with their programs even during times of illness or discomfort
To provide them with initial positive experiences that promote adherence through easily achieved initial successes
Why?
The most important goal with all clients is to provide them with initial positive experiences that promote adherence through easily achieved initial successes.
