Safe Practices

Question 1

Progressions/regressions.

Answer 1

Flexibility training: participants move from light discomfort, to mild, to moderate
Strength: increases in weight or resistance provided gradually.
Cardiovascular: initial movements along the sagital and frontal plane, as the bodies get warm, movement can progress to transverse plane.

Question 2

During movement all arms and legs become:

Answer 2

Levers and as such the farther away they are moved from the body, the greater the increase in resistance.

Question 3

The NAFC group exercise instructor

Answer 3

emphasizes proper form and technique to provide safe, motivating experiences for the participants. Cardiovascular fitness, resistance and flexibility are part of a well rounded fitness program. There must be a purpose to each exercise and the R/be equation must be applied to each. Progressions and regressions must be provided in order to target the class to every level of fitness.

Question 4

Know your participants

Answer 4

Become familiarized with your participants limitations and abilities and be prepared to provide modifications targeted to specific people.

Question 5

Importance of warm up/ cool down

Answer 5

It is good practice to start with a warm up of 5 min and end with cool down of same. It gives the body a chance to get ready for what’s coming and decreases the chances of cardio vascular disease, fainting, and injuries. Start warm up with smaller moves and progress to more vigorous movements.

Question 6

Dynamic posture

Answer 6

Refers to the alignment of the joints during movement.

Question 7

NAFC group x instructor and posture

Answer 7

Help your Participants correct or better posture imbalances thought stretching tight muscle group and strengthening weak ones to correct imbalances. Instruct to visualize and activate muscles I. Order for the body to be better aligned.

Question 8

Anser

Answer 8

Align the joints
Neutralize the spine
Square the hips
Engage the muscles under load
Retract the shoulder blades (absence of protraction)

Question 9

R/Be

Answer 9

Risk vs benefit
The evaluation that every exercise must go though in order to stay safe and appropriate for the participants in the class.

Question 10

Lever systems

Answer 10

Lever 1: flexion of the neck: fulcrum is on bottom, load is on one side, force is on other
Lever 2: flection plantar flexion: fulcrum is on one end, force is on other end, load is in the middle
Lever 3: elbow flexion: fulcrum is at the end, middle is force, load is on the other end.
