Applying the principles of nutrition to a physical activity programmeUnit accreditation number: L/600/9054Programming personal training with clientsUnit accreditation number: F/600/9052

Case study- Learner guidance

There are 48 marks available for this case study. You must score a minimum of 43 marks in total to achieve a pass. In addition to achieving the total pass mark, you must also score at least the minimum marks set for each section to achieve an overall pass.

Please follow these steps when compiling your portfolio of evidence for this case study:

Step 1 – Select a client to work with for the 8 week predictive progressive programme.

Step 2 – Carry out appropriate screening with your client (i.e. use of the PAR-Q and informed consent) and take and interpret at least two physical measurements as appropriate for the client, from the following:

• blood pressure (manual and digital where available)• anthropometrics (e.g. height and weight, BMI, waist circumference or waist to hips ratio)• body composition (e.g. calipers, bio-electrical impedance etc.)• cardiovascular fitness (using validated/recognised protocols such as Astrand bike test, Rockport

walking test etc.)• range of motion (e.g. using validated/recognised protocols such as sit and reach test, visual

assessment during stretch positions etc.)• muscular fitness (e.g. using validated/recognised protocols such as abdominal curl/sit-up test,

press-up test etc.)

Step 3 – Carry out an interview with your client to obtain the following information:

• client’s personal goals• future goals and aspirations• expectations• lifestyle

• work patterns• eating patterns• diet• relevant personal circumstances• likes, dislikes and preferences towards physical activity

• medical, health and exercise history• health history• current health status• risk factors (particularly CHD)• identification of medical conditions requiring medical clearance• past and present injuries and disabilities• previous and current levels of activity

• attitude and motivation• exercise preferences

Copyright © 2014 Active IQ Ltd. Not for resale | 5

• barriers to exercise (perceived or actual)• stage of change / readiness• current level of fitness

Use the standardised pro forma provided in this L.A.P to record your findings.

Step 4 – Agree Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time bound (SMART) goals with the client that are appropriate to their needs and expectations to include:

• specific short / medium/ long term goals• physical activity goals• lifestyle goals• nutritional goals• adherence goals

Use the standardised pro forma provided in this L.A.P to record your findings.

Step 5 – Design an eight week (two, one hour sessions a week) predictive progressive programme of exercise, selecting exercise activities that are appropriate to the client goals and taking into consideration the clients:

• health status and any contraindications• injury status and any specific recommended adaptations if appropriate• any other precautions identified during the client consultation

Your progressive programme should clearly demonstrate applications of the principles of training through the FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type) to the design of the programme.

You must use the following types of equipment in your predictive programme:

• cardiovascular machines• resistance machines• free weights including barbells, dumbbells and cables where available

Integrate a range of cardiovascular and resistance training systems in designing a programme appropriate to the client’s needs, applying knowledge of the aerobic and anaerobic systems.

You must use at least two cardiovascular approaches to training from the list below within your progressive programme – indicate the target heart rate training zone within each stage of the programme:

• interval• fartlek• continuous

You must include at least four of the resistance approaches to training from the list below in your progressive programme across a range of resistance machines and free weights:

Four approaches from the following list:

• Pyramid systems• Super-setting• Giant sets• Tri-sets• Forced repetitions• Pre or post exhaust (this will only count as one approach)• Negative/ eccentric training

6 | Copyright © 2014 Active IQ Ltd. Not for resale

• Muscular strength, endurance or muscular fitness - the learner can select any other recognised training system including circuit resistance training, multiple sets, drop sets, matrix (ensuring that the sets/reps have been manipulated appropriately for muscular strength, endurance or fitness).NB: Only one additional approach can be used (E.g. if a learner has selected circuit resistance training then they cannot also use drop sets as one of the four approaches.)

• You must also include at least one core stability exercise.

N.B. the number of machines / pieces of equipment you choose to use will depend upon your client’s needs.

Your progressive programme should contain the following:

• client analysis• overview of eight week programme• two programme cards (Four and eight week programme examples)• learners must produce evidence of evaluating and modifying a progressive programme of

exercise

Each programme card should contain information that is usable to the client and includes:• warm-up• main section using a range of cardiovascular equipment• main section using a range of resistance training equipment• at least one core stability exercise• cool down and flexibility• timings and sequences

Physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR- Q) and you(A questionnaire for people aged 15 - 69)Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.

If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age, and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor.

Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: check YES or NO.

1. has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?

YES NO

2. do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? YES NO

3. in the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?

YES NO

4. do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness? YES NO

5. do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?

YES NO

6. is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart conditions?

YES NO

7. do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? YES NO

If you answered YES to one or more questions:Talk with your doctor by phone or in person BEFORE you start becoming much more physically active or BEFORE you have a fitness appraisal. Tell your doctor about the PAR Q and which questions you answered YES.

• you may be able to do any activity you want as long as you start slowly and build up gradually. Or, you may need to restrict your activities to those which are safe for you. Talk with your doctor about the kinds of activities you wish to participate in and follow his/her advice

• find out which community programmes are safe and helpful for you

If you answered NO to all questions:If you answered NO honestly to all PAR Q questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can:

• start becoming much more physically active begin slowly and build up gradually. This is the safest and easiest way to go

• take part in a fitness appraisal this is an excellent way to determine your basic fitness so that you can plan the best way for you to live actively. It is also highly recommended that you have your blood pressure evaluated. If your reading is over 144/94, talk with your doctor before you start becoming much more physically active

10 | Copyright © 2014 Active IQ Ltd. Not for resale

DELAY BECOMING MUCH MORE ACTIVE:

if you are not feeling well because of a temporary illness such as a cold or a fever wait until you feel better; orif you are or may be pregnant talk to your doctor before you start becoming more active

PLEASE NOTE: If your health changes so that you then answer YES to any of the above questions, tell your fitness or health professional. Ask whether you should change your physical activity plan.

NO CHANGES PERMITTED. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO PHOTOCOPY THE PAR Q BUT ONLY IF YOU USE THE ENTIRE FORM.

NOTE: If the PAR -Q is being given to a person before he or she participates in a physical activity programme or a fitness appraisal, this section may be used for legal or administrative purposes.

“I have read, understood and completed this questionnaire. Any questions I had were answered to my full satisfaction.”

Health Commitment Statement (HCS)

The Health Commitment Statement sets the standards that health and fitness centres and users can reasonably expect from each other in regards to the health of the user.

BackgroundThe HCS is the evolution of the PAR-Q, which has existed for the past 15 years. The HCS reflects government policy and legal trends, which aim to shift responsibility for personal health from the operator to the user.

Ukactive is taking the lead in allowing operators to be more accessible while facilitating a better working relationship between fitness and medical sectors in the community. This has also provided an opportunity to align the HCS to the skills and expertise of fitness professionals established through REPs.

The HCS has been developed by fitness industry operators, medico-legal professionals and health providers to support the evolving requirements of users and operators.

Purpose:• develop the current PAR-Q to simplify access to activity facilities for users• assist the health, medical and fitness industries to work in harmony while supporting initiatives

to encourage the nation to become more active• bring health and fitness clubs in line with virtually all other sports and active leisure in relation

to health matters• demonstrate respect for members by placing responsibility where it belongs, with the individual

member• be consistent with current government policies in encouraging every individual to take

responsibility for his or her own health• offer the opportunity to clubs to maximise their membership• be in keeping with current trends in legislation and case law• be consistent with a more modern approach to individual responsibility in medicine and the law• provide the opportunity for a uniform approach across the health and fitness industry, producing

greater clarity and reducing costs• offer a simple solution in plain English, which is accessible to fitness instructors, staff and

members• remove stress and anxiety from staff in relation to the health of members

The HCS has been designed for gym users and with all operators in mind, allowing flexibility with its usage.

All information will be kept confidential.

Informed consent

1. Explanation of the exercise test - you will perform a number of exercise tests. The exercise intensity of each will be at a level appropriate to your ability. I may stop the test at any time because of signs of fatigue or, you may stop when you wish because of personal feelings of fatigue or discomfort.

2. Risks and discomforts - there exists the possibility of certain changes occurring during the test. They include abnormal blood pressure, fainting, disorder of heartbeat and in rare instances, heart attack, stroke or death. Every effort will be made to minimise these risks by evaluation of preliminary information relating to your health and fitness and by observations during testing. Trained personnel are available to deal with unusual situations that may arise.

3. Responsibilities of the client - information you possess about your health status or previous experiences of unusual feelings with physical effort may affect the safety and value of your exercise tests. Prompt reporting of feelings of effort during the exercise tests are of great importance. It is your responsibility to fully disclose such information when requested.

4. Benefits to be expected - the results obtained from the exercise tests will assist in evaluating what type of physical activities you may participate in.

5. Injuries - any questions about the procedures used in the exercise tests are encouraged. If you have any doubts or questions, please ask for further explanations.
