8 months to a year.
What are Type A aerobic activities?
require minimal skill or physical fitness
eg. walking, aquafit classes, cycling
What should beginner’s goals be?
Endurance or Hypertrophy
RPE
Rate of Perceived Exertion
Recommended Frequency: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
- 2-3 Days

Definition: Repetition Volume
total # reps in a training session
Definition: Compound Set
Example?
2 exercise sets in a sequence that work the same muscle group
eg. bench press & chest fly
How many columns in the training status chart must a client answer yes to, in order to be classified at that training level?
3
What fiber type transition does RT facilitate?
Type IIx to Type IIa
How much % should the frequency, intensity or duration increase for aerobic training per week?
no more than 10%
What is a rapid increase in strength gains due to in the first 8 - 10 weeks?
neural adaptations
What is the “total amount of weight lifted in a training session”?
Volume
If a client wants to improve strength and power, should they train strength and power every day?
No.
SRRLV for Intermediate: Power
Sets: 1-3
Reps: 3-6
Rest: 2 - 5 mins
Load: 30-60%
Volume/Intensity: Low/High
What are the 3 objective ways to measure exercise intensity?
- Age Predicted Maximum Heart Rate (APMHR)
- Karvonen Formula using HRR
- Metabolic equivalents (METS)
What type of training is important in untrained individuals?
- learning proper technique
- building conditioning base
What are the 3 objective ways to measure exercise intensity?
- Age Predicted Maximum Heart Rate (APMHR)
- Karvonen Formula [heart rate reserve] (HRR)
- Metabolic Equivalents (METS)
What are the factors involved in individual levels of adaptation?
GP POINT
- Genetics
- Training Status
- Injury History
- Psychological Makeup
- Occupation
- Nutritional Intake
- Program
SSRLV for Intermediate: Strength
Sets: ≥3
Reps: ≤6
Rest: 2 - 5 mins
Load: ≥80%
Volume: Low/High
Where should the foot pad sit on the leg curl machine?
Achiles, not on shoe
FDI of Fartlek aerobic training?
Frequency: 1 / week
Duration: 20 - 60 mins
Intensity: varies between LSD and pace/tempo intensitities
What is the one subjective way to measure exercise intensity?
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
Does the RT status chart apply to every client?
No.
What intensity of RT is considered INTERMEDIATE?
Medium - High
Why should you NOT use the %BWT method on trained individuals?
Because their strength to bodyweight ratio will be much higher, and the results will be very innaccurate.
What frequency of RT is considered BEGINNER?
0-3 / week
Are there stronger endocrine responses in older or younger individuals?
younger
Which of the following can increase load more often?
Core (multijoint) or Assistance (single joint)
Core
What is load commonly described as?
a percent of your 1RM
Factors to consider when prescribing FREQUENCY?
TNS SWFT
- Types of exercises
- # of muscle groups used
- Structure of program (volume & intensity)
- Training Status / Fitness Level
- Work Schedule
- Family Obligations
- Stressors (work, academic, social, life demands)
What is FITT?
Frequency - How often they will train
Intensity - Sets/Reps/Rest/Load depending on goals and experience
Time - How long their sessions will be and how long you will train them for
Type - What type of exercises are selected
True or False: One set is sufficient for beginners until client is able to perform more
True
What 4 things are involved in the initial consultation?
- Client’s goals
- Exercise Experience
- Current Health Status
- Medical History
How often should beginners engage in aerobic training?
