A+
✔✔Which of the following would be CONTRAINDICATED during the warm-up portion of
a group fitness class?
Lead participants through a series of dynamic movements.
Focus largely on rehearsal moves that enhance range of motion.
If including any static stretching, continue to incorporate some movement.
Lead participants through a series of ballistic stretches for all major muscle groups. -
✔✔Lead participants through a series of ballistic stretches for all major muscle groups.
pg.24
✔✔What is the BEST justification for teaching a muscle-conditioning segment that
features body-weight exercises (e.g., lunges and squats) first?
Body-weight exercises will recruit the major muscle groups, decreasing the risk of injury
during the cardiorespiratory-conditioning segment.
Body-weight exercises will extend the warm-up, thus allowing the body to adapt to the
increased workload of the cardiorespiratory-conditioning segment.
Stored fat energy will be metabolized more effectively during the muscle-conditioning
segment.
Dynamic body-weight exercises can serve as rehearsal moves prior to adding external
loads. - ✔✔Dynamic body-weight exercises can serve as rehearsal moves prior to
adding external loads. pg.84
✔✔Which personal factor is MOST likely to facilitate long-term exercise adherence?
Needing to lose weight for health reasons
Easy access to a fitness facility
Participation in a smoking cessation program
Prior participation in exercise classes - ✔✔Prior participation in exercise classes pg.96
, ✔✔Which of the following recommendations is MOST appropriate for a participant who
wants to lose 10 pounds (4.5 kg)?
Limit alcohol intake to two-to-three drinks per day
Avoid consuming carbohydrates
Aim for a caloric deficit of 500 calories per day
Skip breakfast most days of the week - ✔✔Aim for a caloric deficit of 500 calories per
day Correct pg.256-57
✔✔What effect do beta-blockers have on heart rate (HR) response?
Increased resting, exercise, and maximal heart rate
Decreased exercise heart rate, with no change in resting or maximal heart rate
Increased resting and exercise heart rate, with no change in maximal heart rate
Decreased resting, exercise, and maximal heart rate - ✔✔Decreased resting, exercise,
and maximal heart rate pg.160-61
✔✔What would be the MOST important consideration when using the slow-to-fast
teaching strategy?
Ensure that the participants grasp the basic movement before increasing speed.
Use an increased number of variations between movement patterns.
Vary the movements of the arms and legs simultaneously.
Follow a complex transition with a simple transition. - ✔✔Ensure that the participants
grasp the basic movement before increasing speed. pg.138
✔✔When designing a 30-minute total-body conditioning class for a corporate client,
which of the following types of resistance-training exercises is MOST beneficial to
include in the class?
Multijoint and mulitplanar movements
Body-weight only
Posture corrective
Isolated, single-joint movements - ✔✔Multijoint and mulitplanar movements pg.85
✔✔Your outdoor boot-camp class is held at a park with an asphalt trail around the
perimeter. When you arrive at the park, you find the grass to be soggy and full of
puddles from the previous day's rain. How would you alter your class plan?
Utilize the asphalt trail for walking and jogging only.
Utilize the asphalt trail, performing only plyometrics in the grass.
Give participants the option to find a space on the trail or in the grass.
Utilize the asphalt trail and incorporate standing core exercises. - ✔✔Utilize the asphalt
trail and incorporate standing core exercises. pg.113
✔✔Which of the following movements would result in the highest intensity exercise?
Step-touch side to side with arms reaching overhead
