Canfitpro Practical Exam Questions with correct Answers

Explain how you are going to open the session - Answer- 1. Hey Jerome, it's nice to see you man. How are things? 2. I'm really looking forward to our session today. 3. If you have any questions about anything at all during the session please feel free to ask me whenever 4. Today we are going to be covering all of our bases. We're going to start out by doing both a passive and dynamic postural assessment then we'll warm up, do some light cardio, do some resistance training, and then we'll finish off with some static stretching. 5. Did you have any questions before we get things started? 6. Alright well lets get going and put in some work towards our goals Explain the purpose of passive postural assessments - Determine (3) - Answer- 1. Postural concerns for the program 2. Potential muscle imbalances 3. Health status Explain the purpose of dynamic postural assessments - Determine (4) - Answer- 1. Postural concerns for the program 3. Potential muscle imbalances 2. Health status 3. Ability to move in and out of a neutral position Steps of the Warm-up / Cardio Component - Answer- 1. We are going to doing some light cardio on the treadmill so ill do a quick demonstration and then we'll get you started. 2. Safety aspects of the treadmill are the safety switch, the hand rails and the stepping areas. If at any time you feel unsafe you can pull the safety switch and it will shut the treadmill off right away. I will be spotting you and if you have any questions just let me know. 3. Quick start -> 2km for 1 minute 4. increase pace by .3 every minute 5. I will be monitoring the intensity by checking your heart rate at the 45 second mark of each minute so for safety purposes, I will get you to hold the handrails while I measure your HR. 6. I will also get you to tell me on a scale of 1-10 how intense the exercise is for you. 7. Our goal is to warm up at 20% of your HRR which should = 1-2 and then our work rate will be between 50-60% HRR which should be 4-5 8. The reason we use HRR rather than just HR is because it takes into account your resting HR 9. I know that was a lot so lets get you started with some cardio. you ready? 10. Awesome, If an any time you have any questions about anything just let me know. 11. Check in throughout the warm up and the cardio component Visual Postural Assessment 1. Discuss how posture can affect attainment of goals 2. Educate the client on possible causes of postural faults (2) - Answer- 1. Failure to address postural concerns can delay improvements and result in injury 2. long weak muscles on one side of the joint and short tight muscles on the opposite side - developed over time because of daily movement patterns Resistance / Flexibility Training Component 1. Discuss importance of completing resistance training 2. Importance of flexibility training 3. Discuss breathing and tempo for all exercises and stretches - Answer- 1. Improve overall strength - Improve posture - Programs with both resistance training and cardiorespiratory training have revealed benefits in reducing body fat - May help with back pain 2. Help improve posture - Greater ROM - Improve performance - May help with back pain 3. - Many people hold their breath while stretching and performing resistance training and this is not good. With resistance training, you want to breath out during exertion and breath in during the lowering phase. When stretching you want to breath out as you go into the stretch and then maintained controlled breathing as you hold the stretch. - Another thing to focus on while performing resistance training and stretching. With resistance training we are focusing on technique, so i want you to performing the lowering phase for roughly 3 seconds, pause and then lift for 2 seconds and pause. With stretching I want you to move slowing into each stretch until you feel your muscle lengthening. You should not feel any pain. Demonstrate finger technique. Visual Postural Assessment Identifies postural faults in affect structures in client 1. Upper crossed syndrome 2. Lower crossed syndrome - Answer- 1. increased thoracic curve (kyphosis) & flat back - Tight pectorals & upper traps - Weak rhomboids & mid/lower traps 2. Rounded shoulders, increased lumbar curve (lordosis) - tight rectus femoris & iliopsoas - weak glut max & proximal hamstrings Squat Variation - Answer- Visual Postural Assessment 1. Discuss how postural faults will be addressed in the clients program 2. When will you ask for feedback? - Answer- 1. strengthen weak muscles & lengthen / stretch tight muscles 2. Let them know first thing if they have any questions they can ask at anytime, ask after explaining things Dynamic Postural Assessment Seated Spinal Rotation 1. Explain the functional relevance of the chosen assessment (2) 2. Relate the assessment to the client's goals (2) - Answer- 1. Assess ROM symmetry in rotating your spine in each direction & assess neutral spine awareness during rotation 2. I chose this assessment because it is going to provide us with a good starting point to reach your goals and also because you mentioned you have experienced occasional back pain and I wanted to identify if that relates to spinal rotation at all. Dynamic Postural Assessment Seated Spinal Rotation Provides clear and thorough instructions about set up and procedure to client - Answer- Demonstrate & Explain 1. Sit upright with your legs crossed 2. then you are going to hold the dowel against your collarbones with your arms crossed at shoulder level. 3. While maintaining an upright posture, you are going to rotate safely in each direction toward the standing dowel and I will measure the distance between the two dowels 4. Do you have any questions before we get started? 5. Explain & Guide Dynamic Postural Assessmen
