1. You have a new client who started out strong, following the program you designed for the first month.  However, for the last three weeks he has been missing his workouts.  What questions do you ask yourself?

Explanation

All of the above questions should be asked in order to understand why the client has been missing their workouts. By identifying antecedents and consequences, it can be determined if there are any triggers or rewards that may be influencing the client's behavior. Assessing if the client is overloaded can help determine if they are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. Understanding if the client perceives themselves as failing and feeling at fault can provide insight into their mindset and motivation. Lastly, exploring if the client feels there is not enough time can help identify any potential barriers or challenges they may be facing in their schedule.

2. Your client is training for a 10K race. During training he generally runs between 45 and 60 minutes at 65% of VO2max. What are the primary energy substrates used by your client?

Explanation

During aerobic exercise such as running, the primary energy substrates used are glucose and fatty acids. Glucose is derived from carbohydrates and is readily available for immediate energy production.

Submit
8. Which factors are you, as a personal trainer, more likely to influence in the adherence of your client to his/her program?

Explanation

The client's attitudes or beliefs about exercise are more likely to influence their adherence to the program. This is because if a client has a positive attitude towards exercise and believes in its benefits, they are more likely to stay committed and motivated to follow the program. On the other hand, if the client has negative attitudes or beliefs about exercise, they may be less likely to adhere to the program and may struggle with motivation. Time constraints, joy of exercise, and past experience with exercise can also play a role, but they are not as influential as the client's attitudes or beliefs.

Submit

According to the US Dietary Guidelines, normal, healthy adults of average size who engage in physical activity should consume a range of carbohydrates between 45-65% of their daily caloric intake, protein between 10-35%, and fat between 20-35%. This balanced macronutrient distribution provides the necessary energy and nutrients for optimal health and performance.

Submit
10. ATP stands for ______________________; and the body uses it for _________________?  

Explanation

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate and the body uses it for energy. ATP is a molecule that stores and releases energy for cellular processes. When ATP is broken down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), energy is released and can be used by the body for various functions such as muscle contraction, nerve impulses, and active transport.

Submit
11. The three standard skinfold sites for a female are:

Explanation

The three standard skinfold sites for a female are the tricep, supraillium, and quadricep. These sites are commonly used in skinfold measurements to estimate body fat percentage. The tricep site is located on the back of the upper arm, the supraillium site is located just above the hip bone, and the quadricep site is located on the front of the thigh. By measuring the skinfold thickness at these specific sites, an estimation of overall body fat can be obtained.

Submit
12. The equation for Cardiac Output is:

Explanation

The equation for Cardiac Output is CO = HR x SV, which means that Cardiac Output is equal to Heart Rate multiplied by Stroke Volume. This equation represents the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute. Heart Rate refers to the number of times the heart beats per minute, while Stroke Volume refers to the amount of blood pumped by the heart with each beat. By multiplying these two values, we can calculate the Cardiac Output, which is an important measure of the heart's efficiency in delivering oxygenated blood to the body.

Submit
13.   Which quality below is NOT necessarily a quality of an effective exercise leader?

Explanation

An effective exercise leader does not necessarily need to present themselves as a body builder. While it may be beneficial for an exercise leader to be physically fit and have knowledge about bodybuilding, it is not a requirement for them to have the appearance of a body builder in order to be effective in their role. Other qualities mentioned in the options, such as punctuality, professionalism, commitment to education, and sensitivity to clients' needs, are more essential for an effective exercise leader.

Submit
14. The energy values of carbohydrates, protein, and fat are:

Explanation

Carbohydrates, protein, and fat are macronutrients that provide energy to the body. The energy value of a nutrient is determined by the number of calories it provides per gram. In this case, the correct answer is a because it states that protein and carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, while fat provides 9 calories per gram. This is consistent with the generally accepted energy values of these macronutrients.

16. Mark is doing a sub-maximal test on the bike and is in the last protocol.  He has 2 minutes to go and you notice his Heart Rate Monitor shows his heart rate over 85% of his max.  You would: 

Explanation

In this scenario, Mark is doing a sub-maximal test on the bike and is in the last protocol. His Heart Rate Monitor shows that his heart rate is over 85% of his max with only 2 minutes to go. This indicates that Mark's heart rate is exceeding the target range for the test and is potentially at a high intensity level. Considering this, it would be appropriate to stop the test (option c) to prevent any potential risks or complications. Additionally, it would also be advisable to decrease the workload for cool down (option d) to allow Mark's heart rate to gradually return to a normal level. Therefore, the correct answer is both c & d.

Submit
17. Optimum physical fitness refers to development of:

Explanation

The correct answer is A and C only. Optimum physical fitness refers to the development of cardiovascular conditioning, muscular strength, endurance, flexibility, and ideal body composition. Cardiovascular conditioning and ideal body composition are included in options A and C, making them the correct choices.

Submit
18. The three standard skinfold sites for a male are:

Explanation

The correct answer is Pectoral, abdominal, quadricep. These three skinfold sites are commonly used to measure body fat percentage in males. The pectoral site is located on the chest, the abdominal site is located just above the hip bone, and the quadricep site is located on the front of the thigh. By measuring the skinfold thickness at these three sites, it is possible to estimate the amount of subcutaneous fat in the body, which can be used as an indicator of overall body fat percentage.

Submit
19. The body produces most of its ATP supply from:

Explanation

The body produces most of its ATP supply from fats and carbohydrates. Both fats and carbohydrates are broken down during cellular respiration to produce ATP, which is the main energy currency of the body. Fats are a concentrated source of energy and provide a large amount of ATP when broken down. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are the body's preferred source of energy and are readily converted into ATP. Therefore, a combination of fats and carbohydrates is used to meet the body's energy demands.

Submit
20. Stretching a muscle quickly or forcefully results in:

Explanation

When a muscle is stretched quickly or forcefully, the body's reflex mechanism is triggered, causing the muscle to contract. This reflex contraction is an automatic response designed to protect the muscle from potential damage or injury. The contraction helps to stabilize the muscle and prevent it from being overstretched or torn. Therefore, the correct answer is reflex contraction of the muscle.

22. Clients who have problems with their lower back should avoid exercises that aggravate their condition.  Which one would be least likely to aggravate their condition?

Explanation

The bench press with feet on the bench would be least likely to aggravate their condition because it primarily targets the chest and triceps muscles, rather than putting direct strain on the lower back. By keeping the feet on the bench, it helps to stabilize the body and reduce the load on the lower back, making it a safer exercise option for individuals with lower back problems.

Submit
23. The total capacity to consume oxygen at the cellular level is referred to as:

Explanation

The correct answer is VO2 max = CO (cardiac output) max x O2 extraction max. VO2 max refers to the maximum capacity of an individual to consume oxygen at the cellular level. This capacity is determined by the maximum cardiac output (CO) and maximum oxygen extraction (O2 extraction) that the body can achieve. Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute, and oxygen extraction refers to the amount of oxygen extracted from the blood by the tissues. Therefore, the equation VO2 max = CO max x O2 extraction max accurately represents the total capacity to consume oxygen at the cellular level.
