Q

Describe the procedure to assess a client’s resting heart rate.

A

Clients should be resting comfortably for several minutes in a quiet environment. Locate the radial pulse on the wrist, count beats for 30 or 60 seconds.

Q

True or False: All personal training clients need a comprehensive fitness assessment protocol.

20
Q

Match the RHR ranges to the appropriate category: RHR >100 bpm, RHR <60 bpm, RHR 60 to 100 bpm.

A
  • Bradycardia: RHR <60 bpm
  • Normal sinus rhythm: RHR 60 to 100 bpm
  • Sinus tachycardia: RHR >100 bpm
21
Q

What is a realistic weight loss goal for a client with four weeks until vacation?

A

4 to 8 lbs.

22
Q

What assessments would you consider for a new client interested in improving energy and lifestyle?

A
  • Resting Heart Rate and Blood Pressure
  • Body Composition
  • Basic Movement Screens
  • Core Strength Assessments
  • Muscular Strength and Endurance Assessments
  • Flexibility Assessments
23
Q

What assessments might you forgo for a non-competitive athlete?

A
  • VO2 max testing
  • Hydrostatic weighing or DEXA
  • Skill-related fitness assessments
24
Q

What types of assessments are conducted to establish baseline measurements with a client?

A
  • Cardiorespiratory assessment
  • Static posture and movement
  • Body mass index (BMI)
  • Resting vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure)

These assessments are performed in the first session prior to referring to the preparticipation health-screening questionnaire.

25
What is the classification for a resting heart rate (RHR) of 75 bpm?
Normal Sinus Rhythm ## Footnote This classification indicates a resting heart rate within the normal range.
26
What classification does an RHR of 58 bpm fall under?
Sinus Bradycardia ## Footnote Sinus Bradycardia is characterized by a resting heart rate below 60 bpm.
27
What classification is given to an RHR of 106 bpm?
Sinus Tachycardia ## Footnote Sinus Tachycardia is characterized by a resting heart rate above 100 bpm.
28
If RHR values were swapped, what would be the new classification for RHR #1 and RHR #3?
D. RHR #1: Sinus Tachycardia; RHR #3: Sinus Bradycardia ## Footnote This scenario examines how the classification changes based on different heart rate values.
29
Calculate the waist-to-hip ratio using the following circumferences: Abdominal circumference: 45.7 inches, Hip circumference: 42.5 inches, Waist circumference: 45.1 inches.
Waist-to-hip ratio: 1.08 (at risk) ## Footnote A waist-to-hip ratio above 1.0 indicates a higher risk for health issues.
30
What is the disease risk relative to waist circumference for a waist circumference of 45.1 inches?
High ## Footnote Individuals with a waist circumference above certain thresholds are classified at higher risk for diseases.
31
List three factors that influence resting heart rate (RHR).
* Fitness * Fatigue * Genetics ## Footnote Other factors can include body composition, drugs and medication, alcohol, caffeine, and stress.
32
What is the classification for an RHR of 75 BPM?
Normal Sinus Rhythm ## Footnote This is considered a normal resting heart rate.
33
What is the classification for RHR #2 if the value is 58 BPM?
Sinus Bradycardia ## Footnote This indicates a slower than normal heart rate.
34
What is the classification for RHR #3 if the value is 106 BPM?
Sinus Tachycardia ## Footnote This indicates a faster than normal heart rate.
35
What are the common sites for measuring blood pressure?
Radial and carotid arteries ## Footnote Commonly used in clinical settings for non-invasive blood pressure assessment.
36
What is the body mass index (BMI) for a client who is 5'9" (69 in) and weighs 185 pounds (84.09 kg)?
27.3 kg/m² ## Footnote BMI is calculated using the formula: weight (kg) / height (m)².
37
What should each early experience focus on to create self-efficacy?
Creating success and building confidence
38
______ is a valid indicator of work intensity or stress on the body during exercise.
Heart Rate
39
List the factors that affect resting heart rate (RHR).
* Fitness * Fatigue * Genetics * Body composition * Drug and Medication * Alcohol * Caffeine * Stress
40
Describe the procedure for assessing a client's resting heart rate (RHR).
Clients should rest comfortably for several minutes in a quiet environment. RHR can be measured by palpation or auscultation. For palpation, place fingers over an artery and count beats for 30 or 60 seconds. For auscultation, use a stethoscope near the sternum.
41
Explain the correlation between elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular events.
A positive correlation exists; each 20mmHg increase in systolic BP or 10mmHg increase in diastolic BP doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease. A difference of 15mmHg or more between arms increases risk.
42
Why is sequencing assessments properly important?
Not all clients need a full fitness assessment; unique goals and preferences should be considered when selecting and sequencing assessments.
43
True or False? It is crucial that all personal-training clients be assessed using a comprehensive fitness assessment protocol.
False
44
Match the RHR ranges to the appropriate category: Sinus tachycardia.
Sinus tachycardia = RHR >100 bpm
45
Match the RHR ranges to the appropriate category: Normal sinus rhythm.
Normal sinus rhythm = RHR 60 to 100 bpm
46
Match the RHR ranges to the appropriate category: Sinus bradycardia.
Sinus Bradycardia = RHR <60 bpm
