CSEP - CEP Study Guide Exam
Questions and Answers 100% Pass
A CSEP-CEP is sanctioned by CSEP to: - ✔✔1. Conduct pre-participation
screening, administer various health and fitness assessments, prescribe
and supervise exercise programs, and provide coaching and healthy
lifestyle education to general populations and to those with chronic health
conditions, functional limitations, or disabilities across the lifespan.
2. Conduct pre-participation screening using evidence-informed tools that
will support recommendations for individual client-tailored physical activity
and exercise programs within the CSEP-CEP's individual knowledge
competency.
3. Accept referrals from licensed healthcare professionals who are trained
and licensed to diagnose and treat acute and chronic medical conditions.
The CSEP-CEP may clear clients with one chronic health condition to work
with a CSEP-CPT. Further medical clearance should be sought if the health
condition is unstable.

,4. Use evidence-informed behaviour change models to facilitate physical
activity and exercise participation, and lifestyle modification.
5. Interpret the results of comprehensive fitness assessment protocols to
determine health and physical function.
6. Monitor the influence of commonly used medications on the response to
submaximal and maximal exercise during assessments and/or training
sessions.
7. Use the outcomes from objective health and fitness assessments to
design and implement safe and effective physical activity and exercise
prescriptions for both healthy and unhealthy populations.
8. Make general, evidence-informed, dietary recommendations if within the
CSEP-CEP's individual knowledge competency, recognizing when to refer
to a registered dietitian for more specialized counselling.
9. Measure and monitor heart rate, electric activity of the heart (using
electrocardiography [ECG]) and blood pressure (by auscultation unless
hearing impaired) at rest, during exercis

1. Which of the following statements regarding resistance training is not
correct?
A) Rate of force development is an important consideration when designing
resistance training programs in older adults.
B) For both multi-joint and single-joint resistance exercises, prescribed load
assignments must be based on the directly determined one-repetition
maximum (1 RM).
C) Exercises recruiting one or more of the large multi-joint muscles have
greater transfer carry-over between training and work or sport performance.
D) Muscle balance does not always have to mean equal force, just a proper
ratio of muscular strength, power, or muscular endurance of one muscle
group relative to another muscle group. - ✔✔"B
There is no requirement that you complete a 1 RM for resistance training
activities. You may pick one lower- or one upper-body exercise to complete
a multiple repetition maximum (MRM) or 1 RM to track for changes, but
there is no requirement that you perform the testing for each prescribed
exercise."
