Chapter 5 Understanding the ACE Fitness Training Model

What foundational element is the ACE IFT Model Built Upon?

• Health improvement

• Functional fitness

• Developing rapport

• Cardiorespiratory fitness

What assessments are essential according to the ACE IFT Model and should be completed prior to a client beginning an exercise program?

• Assessing posture, functional movement, and muscular strength and endurance.

• Collecting health-history data to identify contradictions for exercise and the need for referral.

• Assessing cardiorespiratory fitness using the sub maximal talk test to determine HR at VT1.

• Measuring body composition and waist to hip-ratio.

Which of the following is most likely to create a barrier to fitness-related behavioral change for some clients?

• Identify a client´s readiness to change behavior.

• Creating early positive exercise experiences.

• Implementing startegies for working with clients based on their personality styles.

• Conducting initial comprehensive assessments of fitness and body composition.

What are the five primary movements that are the focus of the movement-training phase?

• Squatting, lunging, swining, throwing and arching movements.

• Jumping, hopping, pushing, pulling and arching movements.

• Squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, and rotational movements.

• Jumping, hopping, swinging, throwing and rotational movements.

In what phase of the functional movement and resistance training component of the ACE IFT Model would a person be categorized if he has lumbar lordosis, limited range of motion in the hips and shoulders, and performs resistance-training workouts four days per week?

• Phase 1: Stability and mobility training.

• Phase 2: Movement training

• Phase 3: Load training

• Phase 4: Performance training

Strength training, body building, and training for muscular endurance all fall under which functional movement and resistance training phase of the ACE IFT model?

• Phase 1: Stability and mobility training.

• Phase 2: Movement training

• Phase 3: Load training

• Phase 4: Performance training

Performance training includes speed, agility, quickness, and reactivity drills that would be most appropriate for which of the following clients?

• 45 year old male competitive tennis player.

• 33 year old female marathon runner.

• 27 year old male body builder.

• 52 year old female recreational golfer.

A regular group exercise participant with no competitive goals would be classified in which phase of the cardiorespiratory training component of

the ACE IFT Model?

• Phase 1: Aerobic base training

• Phase 2: Aerobic efficiency training

• Phase 3: Load training

• Phase 4: Performance training

Personal trainers can use the talk test as an upper limit for exercise below which of the following cardiorespiratory markers?

• VO2 max

• Second Ventilatory Threshold (VT2)

• Anerobic threshold

• First Ventilatory Threshold

Cardiorespiratory exercise in zone 2 is performed at what intensity?

• Below VT1

• At VT1

• From VT1 just below VT2

• At or above VT2
