Parents of an 8-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl want to enroll their children in a resistance
training program at the local community center. They believe that resistance training will help make
their children stronger and faster (and maybe even improve their soccer performance), but they are
concerned about the potential for injury. Comment on issues regarding the safety of youth resistance
training, and highlight program design considerations that address these concerns.
Well prescribed youth resistance training programs are relatively safe when compared with other sports
and activities in which children and adolescents regularly participate. Although epiphyseal plate
fractures have been reported in adolescents who were following a resistance training program, these
reports were case studies and typically involved the performance of heavy overhead lifts in unsupervised
settings. If your children are taught how to resistance train properly and understand resistance training
guidelines and procedures, the risk of an epiphyseal plate fracture is minimal.
All participants should be screened for any injury or illness that may limit or prevent safe participation in
resistance training program. The goals of enrolling your children in a resistance training program should
not be limited to just increasing their muscular strength but also your children should learn about their
bodies, promote an interest in physical activity, learning correct weight room etiquette, and finally
having fun. If children enjoy this program, then they are more likely to be active later in life. Prior to your
children's first day be sure that the strength and conditioning professional teaching the class has a
thorough understanding of the youth resistance training guidelines, willingness to demonstrate proper
exercise technique, and the requisite pedagogical skills to speak with your children at a level they
understand.
A 66-year-old nationally ranked swimmer recently recovered from a fractured wrist caused by an
injury unrelated to swimming. She has been active all her life but could not swim during the
rehabilitation period and now feels that she is "out of shape." She admits to feeling depressed and
complains that she just doesn't have the energy to exercise. What advice would you give this person?
Comment on the trainability of older adults and the benefits of resistance exercise for older women.
Significant changes in body composition with advancing age can lead to the development of physical
functional impairments and injury. The bone mineral content and microarchitecture of bone can
deteriorate to such an extent that the risk of a bone fracture particularly of the hip, spine, or wrist
during a fall is increased. You may have osteopenia. Also, advancing age is associated with a loss of
muscle mass which is largely due to physical inactivity. With a decrease in muscle mass results in loss of
CSCS

,muscle strength. Since everyday activities require a certain degree of power production, a decrease in
the ability of muscles to produce force may affect the ability to do these tasks.
I would suggest doing aerobics, resistance, and balance exercises. If you are looking to increase your
muscular strength, muscular power, and muscle mass then resistance training is the only way to do this.
A positive of resistance training is that regular participation in a resistance program can offset some of
the age-related losses and can also help the aging maintain and active, high-quality lifestyle.
A few days before a big game, a freshman American football quarterback seems somewhat distant
and seems to be constantly out of breath. It is obvious from talking with him that he simply needs to
learn to regulate his arousal level. He asks about any skills he can use before the game to maintain
calm. Briefly describe how he can control arousal through breathing.
One simple technique for reaching a higher level of physical and mental relaxation is diaphragmatic
breathing. Start by letting your arms hand loosely and concentrate on relaxing especially around your
neck and shoulders by first taking a couple deep breaths. Next, relax your abdominal muscles you may
even place your hands on your abdomen to make sure that your belly protrudes with each inhalation.
This form of breathing is a basic stress management technique and precursor to basically all other
mental training techniques. This focuses your mind of breathing which clears the mind and increases
concentration on the task at hand. The deep inspiration followed by a controlled expiration alerts your
autonomic nervous system balance so that increases parasympathetic activity can occur
Several athletes this season have chronic injuries. As each is interviewed, several common themes
present themselves. Each of these athletes always focuses on lifting as much weight as possible,
seems impatient with conducting training sessions in a proper fashion (including proper warm-up
exercises), and always seems to be impatient with the process of strength training and conditioning.
What strategies can these athletes be taught regarding goal setting as an injury prevention and
performance enhancement tool? How does periodization improve the setting of goals?
First, understand that goals are broken up into four different categories; process, outcome, short-term,
and long-term goals. Next, try to identify which one your goals fall under. By setting goals you decrease
the chances of overtraining and reduce your risk of injury. In order to achieve these goals, you have to
take care of your body accordingly. This begins with a warm up followed by stretching of the muscles
going to be used. If your goal is to increase the amount of weight you are able to lift then we can make
this both a short and long-term goal for you. If you're currently maxing out at 150 pounds and your goal
is to do 350 then short term we could work on being able to increase 10 pounds a week on your bench
press. Setting short-term goals increase the likelihood of success because although this is challenging
CSCS
2024
, you are relatively close to achieving this. This will increase your confidence for you long term goal of
benching 350. Long-term goals are those that overarch the series of linked short-term goals. The
attainment of these short-term goals should lead to the accomplishment of your long-term goals. You
have to understand that the way your body develops you have to give your muscles time to grow with
power and strength to be able to achieve your goals.
If your goal is to achieve 350-pound bench press within a year than we can break this up into short
periods. Your performance will be monitored by your coach on a weekly basis. This will help target your
mind and enhance your mental skills to help give you the best performance the next time you execute
your task. Slowly but steadily your confidence to do a 350-bench press will reach a peak which further
leads to a ride in your performance.
An 18-year-old freshman American football lineman wants to increase his lean body mass by 20
pounds (9 kg). Although his strength training is appropriate, he is not making progress. His usual
routine is to wake up at 10 a.m., eat lunch, go to class, work out, eat dinner, do homework, and have
a large snack before bed. What dietary modifications are appropriate for this athlete?
To increase your lean body mass, you have to eat appropriately. There are numerous factors that affect
an athletes weight gain but the ones that are able to be controlled include diet and training. Be careful,
increasing the caloric intake dramatically can lead to gain of more fat than intended. A general guideline
which should be adjusted from individual to individual is to consumer approximately 500 additional
calories. The amount of food currently being consumed is not enough to meet the 20-pound increase.
Try to consume 6 meals a day rather than the two meals plus a large snack that you're currently do.
Eating larger portion sizes, increasing meal frequency, and focusing on calorie-dense foods are all
strategies that can help with weight gain. In addition to increasing caloric intake, still ensure that 1.5-2.0
g per kilogram of body weight is being consumed. Consuming more protein has shown to store
approximately 45% of the excess calories as lean body mass. Try to consume a large snack or meal
before bed. When one is sleeping their body's, metabolism slows down which will help keep the access
caloric intake rather than burning it off.
A swimmer weighs in before practice at 68.3 kg in minimal clothing. This is the third day in a row that
he has weighed in lighter than normal. He has not been trying to lose weight and claims no drastic
changes to his diet. After a 2.5-hour practice, he weighs 67.5 kg. What concerns should this coach be
looking at for this athlete, and what immediate and long-term recommendations should be made?
Minor weight gain/loss during the process of training may not be a source of a huge concern. The diet of
the individual may be reviewed once to ensure that a balanced diet and appropriate nutrition required
