ACE: Ch 12 - Integrated Fitness Training Model in Practice

According to the ACSM risk stratification, what is this client’s level of risk?

• A. Low risk

• B. Moderate risk

• C. High risk

• D. Very high risk

Based on the ACE IFT Model, what cardiorespiratory assessment would be MOST appropriate for this client at this time?

• Submaximal talk test for VT1

• Rockport fitness walking test

• No assessment necessary at this time

• VT2 threshold test

Based on this client’s current exercise and fitness, what would be the MOST appropriate initial cardiorespiratory program to help him work toward his goals?

• A. Extend warm-up to 15 minutes of steady-state exercise in zone 1, progressively increase duration to 20–30 continuous minutes in zone 1, and then progress to phase 2: aerobic-efficiency training

• B. Begin with cardiorespiratory programming in phase 2: aerobic-efficiency training, with a primary focus on progressing from low-zone 2 intervals to high-zone 2 intervals to boost caloric expenditure

• C. Increase to 20 minutes of continuous zone 1 exercise with brief 1-minute intervals (1:3 work-to-recovery intervals). Progress duration to 30 minutes while increasing interval length, and then progress to phase 2: aerobic-efficiency training

• D. Extend warm-up to 15 minutes, with a 5-minute zone 2 interval in the middle and add a 10-minute cool-down with intensity in zone 1 to increase cardiorespiratory training time to boost caloric expenditure

Based on this client’s trunk endurance test results, in which of the following ratios did his performance meet the criteria for balanced endurance among the muscle groups tested?

• Flexion:extension ratio

• Right-side bridge:left-side bridge ratio

• Right-side bridge:extension ratio

• Left-side bridge:extension ratio

Based on the information provided, what would be the MOST appropriate initial functional movement and resistance-training program for this client?

• Progress current program using an undulating periodization model, and add a dynamic warm-up to improve core stability

• Train proper techniques for squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, and rotation through movement training (phase 2)

• Implement a new load training (phase 3) split routine with an expanded flexibility focus during the cool-down

• Work on postural stability, core strength and function, and flexibility through stability and mobility training (phase 1)

According to the ACSM risk stratification, what is this client's "total score" for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and associated level of risk?

• Total score = 0; low risk

• Total score = +1; low risk

• Total score = +1; moderate risk

• Total score = +2; moderate risk

Based on the ACE IFT Model, what cardiorespiratory assessment would be MOST appropriate for this client at this time?

• Pro agility test

• Submaximal talk test for VT1

• VT2 threshold test

• No assessment necessary at this time

Based on this client's trunk endurance test results, in which of the following ratios did her performance fail to meet the criteria for balanced endurance among the muscle groups tested?

• Flexion:extension ratio

• Right-side bridge:left-side bridge ratio

• Right-side bridge:extension ratio

• Left-side bridge:extension ratio

Based on the information provided, what would be the MOST appropriate initial functional movement and resistance-training program for this client?

• Recommend a group strength class that she can attend for four weeks to help her build initial muscular endurance before beginning her personal-training sessions

• Implement a program designed to improve posture and core strength and function through stability and mobility training (phase 1)

• Focus initially on developing proper techniques for squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, and rotation through movement training (phase 2)

• Design an initial load training (phase 3) program with 2 sets of 12–16 repetitions on 6–10 machine-based exercises to build initial strength before progressing to more functional exercise

Based on this client’s performance during the bend and lift screen, what limitations are MOST likely preventing her from correctly performing this screen?

• Weak core musculature and tight hamstrings

• Gluteal group dominance and tight dorsiflexors

• Weak quadriceps and plantarflexors

• Quadriceps and hip flexor dominance and tight plantarflexors
