Q

A client’s physician provides the following guideline regarding the mode of exercise for a new client: “Swimming is the recommended mode of exercise; upper-body resistance-training exercises are not appropriate.” With which of the following conditions is this client MOST likely coping?

Choose One

Arthritis

Fibromyalgia

Asthma

Osteoporosis

A

Asthma

Why?

Swimming may be particularly beneficial for individuals with asthma because it allows them to inhale the moist air just above the surface of the water. For some clients with asthma, upper-body exercises such as arm cranking, rowing, and cross-country skiing may not be appropriate because of the higher ventilation demands.

Q

Weightbearing and resistance-training activities are MOST important for clients with which of the following diseases or disorders?

Choose One

Arthritis

Osteoporosis

Low-back pain

Diabetes

A

Osteoporosis

Why?

For clients with osteoporosis, the mechanical stress associated with weightbearing or resistance-training activities produces strain on bone tissue and stimulates bone deposition and resulting gains in bone mass and strength.

ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th ed., p. 537-539

17
Q

For clients with which of the following diseases or disorders is it MOST important to develop a “regular” pattern of activity that does not result in post-activity malaise?

Choose One

Fibromyalgia

Chronic fatigue syndrome

Cancer

Low-back pain

A

Chronic fatigue syndrome

Why?

When working with clients with CFS, the goal is to develop a “regular” pattern of activity that does not result in post-activity malaise. Low-intensity exercise is recommended.

ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th ed., p. 545-547

18
Q

How often should low-back exercises be performed in order to yield the maximum benefit?

Choose One

2-3 days/week

7 days/week

4-5 days/week

5-6 days/week

A

7 days/week

Why?

While there is a common belief that exercise sessions should be performed at least three times per week, it appears that low-back exercises have the most beneficial effect when performed daily.

ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th ed., p. 548-550

19
Q

When programming exercise to help a client reduce low-back pain, it is most important to focus on muscular strength, as opposed to muscular endurance.

Choose One

FALSE

TRUE

A

FALSE

Why?

Low-back exercises performed for maintenance of health need not emphasize strength; rather, more repetitions of less-demanding exercises will assist in the enhancement of endurance and strength. Given that endurance has more protective value than strength, strength gains should not be overemphasized at the expense of endurance.

ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 5th ed., p. 549-550

20
