Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, Maintenance correct answers What are the 5 stages of behavioural change?
Precontemplation correct answers In which stage of change would a PTS discuss health risks, myths and fears, and provide client with general education?
Contemplation correct answers In which stage of change would a PTS make a list of advantages related to regular exercise, provide clear recommendations, and build the client's self-
confidence?
Preparation correct answers In which stage of change would a PTS provide a personalized exercise design and work on goal setting and action plans?
Action correct answers In which stage of change would a PTS provide encouragement, talk to the client about self monitoring, and prepare for relapses?

Purpose, Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type of exercise correct answers What does PFITT stand for?
Individualization correct answers This principle suggests that program design must accommodate every client's individual needs
Specificity correct answers This principle suggests that if clients want to improve a particular aspect of their performance, they have to train that specifically
Progressive overload correct answers This principle suggests that clients must continually challenge their fitness to see significant improvement over time
Recovery correct answers This principle becomes increasingly important as clients' workouts become more successful, and should be a mandatory principle of training
Structural Tolerance correct answers This principle suggests that the strengthening of joints will result in the ability to sustain subsequently greater stresses in training and have greater resistance
to injury
All-around development correct answers This principle suggests that people who are well developed through all components of fitness are less prone to injury and more likely to perform better in sport and life Reversibility correct answers This principle suggests that when training ceases, the body will gradually return to its pre-training state
