Q

What is the saying for GFIs relating mindfulness as to the location of participants?

A

Have an ear for the front row, and eye for the middle row, and a heart for the back row.

27
Q

Where do the participants with the highest levels of experience/proficiency tend to congregate?

A

In the front row.

28
Q

Where do participants with average skills tend to congregate in a group fitness class?

A

The center of the room.

29
Q

What are participants in the Autonomous stage of learning often seeking?

A

Ways to increase the intensity of exercises.

30
Q

What are participants in the Associative stage of learning often seeking?

A

Ways in which to refine their form or to Enhance movement execution.

31
Q

What are the three main participant learning styles?

A

Visual
Auditory
Kinesthetic

32
Q

What is kinesthetic learning?

A

Learning that takes place when a person physically completes a task or exercise.

33
Q

How can a GFI help create the most successful experience for kinesthetic learners?

A

Using cues that offer participants an element of sensation, eg. feel, imagine, pretend.

34
Q

Which learners may benefit from subtle physical touch to help better understand the movement?

A

Kinesthetic.

35
Q

Instead of a physical touch, what is another way a GFI might help to guide a participant with regard to form and alignment?

A

Using an open hand near the participant and instructing the participant to move their body towards the hand.

36
Q

What are some types of three-dimensional cueing?

A

Alignment
Anatomical
Breathing
Directional
Humorous
Motivational
Numerical
Rhythm
Safety
Spatial

37
Q

What is three-dimensional cueing?

A

Delivering multiple pieces of information simultaneously, while addressing all three learning styles.

38
Q

What are some possible regressions related to stability?

A

Wider base of support/stance
More points of contact
Hold on to external support (wall, bar, etc)

39
Q

What are some possible progressions related to stability?

A

Narrower base of support
Fewer points of contact (single leg, etc)
Unstable surface (Bosu, roller, etc,)

40
Q

What are some regressions and progressions related to load?

A

Regression - decrease load (drop weight or use support)
Progression - increase/add weight.

41
Q

What are some regressions relating to range of motion?

A

Decrease lever length (bend elbows or knees)

42
Q

What are some progressions relating to range of motion?

A

Increase lever length (extend elbows or knees)

43
Q

What are some regressions relating to movement complexity?

A

Static - hold the movement

44
Q

What are some progressions relating to movement complexity?

A

Dynamic movement - moving or traveling.

45
Q

What are some regressions relating to plane of motion/movement?

A

Reduce movement - stay in one plane

46
Q

What are some progressions relating to plane of motion/movement?

A

Multiplanar movements - add lateral or transverse.

47
Q

What is a benefit of controlled, purposeful movements?

A

They require more muscle involvement, protecting the joints better than quick, uncontrolled movements.

48
Q

What is an important cueing consideration for load-bearing cardio-respiratory classes?

A

Participants should control the descent of the lower extremity as it makes contact with the ground by making as little noise as possible - results in less ground reaction forces.

49
Q

What are some cues for maintaining proper posture?

A

Keeping spine and pelvis in neutral position
Bracing the core
Knees remain slightly bent.

50
Q

What are some important considerations for corrective cueing?

A

Provide no more than one corrective action at a time, and choose the most critical.
Form and corrective cues should be sequential, starting at core and moving to the extremities (unless critical error elsewhere).
Cues should be positive and solution based.

51
Q

What is the system GFIs should use when offering corrective feedback?

A

Deliver to whole group
If individual feedback is necessary, try eye contact. Then point out something positive the individual is doing.
Cue the needed correction and rationale.
Offer positive reinforcement on the immediate correction.

52
Q

What is the Triple F strategy for educating participants?

A

Stands for Form, function and fit. Educates the participants on the benefits of performing the exercise with proper technique and form and how it fits within the plan to target muscles.

53
Q

What is the Performance strategy for educating group fitness class participants?

A

It focuses solely on the performance benefits of an exercise or class.

54
Q

What is the health benefits strategy for educating fitness class participants?

A

Educates participants on the behavioral and health aspects of exercise.

55
Q

What is Alignment Cueing?

A

Cues that include exercise set-up, general posture, and kinesthetic awareness of body dynamics before and during a movement.

56
Q

What is Anatomical Cueing?

A

Cues that reference the body to enhance kinesthetic awareness and inform participants which muscles are active during an exercise of movement pattern.

57
Q

What are Directional Cues?

A

Dues that tell participants where a movement will be taking place in relation to the classroom space and their own bodies.

58
Q

What are rhythm cues?

A

Cues that indicate the pace at which the movements or exercise will occur.

59
Q

What are safety cues?

A

Cues that emphasize proper execution of the movement or exercise to minimize the risk of injury.
