Lesson Objectives

Identify effective means of adapting exercises to suit different participants.

• Using a one-size-fits-all approach

• Ignoring individual needs

• Customizing exercises based on individual abilities

• Focusing only on advanced participants

Which methods can be used for cardiovascular endurance training and resistance training for a group exercise session?

• Interval training and circuit training

• Yoga and Pilates

• Meditation and deep breathing

• Tai Chi and Qigong

Core stability development helps in running safe exercise sessions by:

• improving balance and coordination

• increasing muscle mass

• enhancing flexibility

• boosting cardiovascular endurance

Client coordination is important for exercise safety because:

• it ensures proper communication and understanding of exercise routines.

• it allows clients to exercise independently without guidance.

• it reduces the need for professional trainers.

• it focuses solely on achieving fitness goals without considering safety.

Increased blood flow during a warm-up benefits working muscles by:

• providing more oxygen and nutrients

• decreasing muscle temperature

• reducing muscle flexibility

• increasing muscle fatigue

A warm-up can provide several improvements, including:

• Increased flexibility and range of motion

• Decreased risk of injury

• Improved blood flow and oxygen delivery

• All of the above

What is the purpose of a pulse raiser in a warm-up?

• To cool down the body

• To raise the heart rate for further exercise

• To relax the muscles

• To increase joint stiffness

Fill in the blank: Stretches, both static (still) and dynamic (while moving), are used to improve _________.

• joint mobility

• muscle strength

• cardiovascular endurance

• balance

Fill in the blank: A cool-down should include pulse lowerers such as walking or using a ________.

• treadmill

• bicycle

• rowing machine

• elliptical

What can differences between agonist and antagonist muscle groupings cause?

• Strength

• Injury

• Flexibility

• Endurance
