Q

How to calculate BMI?

A

Metric Formula: Weight (kg) ÷ Height2 (m)

Underweight <18.5

Normal Weight 18.5-24.9

Overweight 25.0-29.9

Grade I Obesity 30.0-34.9

Grade II Obesity 35.0-39.9

Grade III Obesity >40

*Source: ACE Lifestyle & Weight Management Coach Manual

https://www.acefitness.org/education-and-resources/lifestyle/tools-calculators/bmi-calculator

Metric Formula: Weight (kg) ÷ Height2 (m) Weight conversion: weight in pounds ÷ 2.2 = weight in kg Height conversion: (height in inches x 2.54) ÷ 100 = height in meters Example: BMI for a 5’ 8”, 196-pound individual (5’ x 12) + 8 = 68” 196 ÷ 2.2 = 89 kg (68” x 2.54) ÷ 100 = 1.73 m 89 kg ÷ (1.73 m x 1.73 m) = 30 (rounded up)

Q

McGill’s Torso Muscular Endurance Test Battery intrepretations

A
  • Flexion: Extension: should be < 1.0
  • Right bridge: Left bridge: should be 0.95 to 1.05
  • Side bridge (SB) (either side): Extension: Should be < 0.75

For muscular balance between the front and back of the torso, the ratio should be less than 1.0 (ratio means dividing the two numbers).

In this case, the ratio refers to the number of seconds held in each position, or flexion time/extension time.

Right-side bridge (RSB): Left-side bridge (LSB)

Right-side bridge time/left-side bridge time

For muscular balance between the sides of the torso, the score should be no greater than 0.05 from a balanced score of 1.0 (that is, an acceptable range would be a score somewhere between 0.95 to 1.05).

Side bridge (SB) (either side): Extension

One-side bridge time/extension time

For muscular balance between one side and the back of the torso, the score should be less than 0.75.

Let’s work through an example. A client completed the three tests with the following results:

Flexor Test: 120 seconds
RS Bridge: 88 seconds
Extension Test: 150 seconds
LS Bridge: 92 seconds

Scoring and Evaluation

Flexion: Extension

120 seconds:150 seconds = 120/150 = 0.8

The score of 0.8 fits within the criteria of <1.0 for muscular balance between the front and back of the torso.

RSB: LSB

88 seconds:92 seconds = 88/92 = 0.96 (0.956 rounded up)

This score fits within the 0.05 range from 1.0 (that is, it falls between 0.95 and 1.05), indicating muscular balance between the right and left sides of the torso.

Side bridge (choose one side at a time, but remember to perform the ratio calculation for both sides): Extension

RSB = 88 seconds:150 seconds = 88/150 = 0.59 (0.586 rounded up)

This score fits within the criteria of <0.75 for muscular balance between the right side and the back of the torso.

Side bridge: Extension

LSB = 92 seconds:150 seconds = 92/150 = 0.61 (0.613 rounded down)

This score fits within the criteria of <0.75 for muscular balance between the right side and the back of the torso.

The results show that this client has well-balanced torso muscles.

Q

How many gram of protein should a person consume per day?

A

1.2 to 1.7 grams per kilogram of body weight (strength trained athlete)

17
Q

what is considered as low GI food?

A

low-GI food (GI <55)

100% stone-ground whole wheat or pumpernickel bread.

Oatmeal (rolled or steel-cut), oat bran, muesli.

Pasta, converted rice, barley, bulgar.

Sweet potato, corn, yam, lima/butter beans, peas, legumes and lentils.

Most fruits, non-starchy vegetables and carrots.

18
Q

What resistance program is good for osteopenia patients to improve bone density and general fitness?

A

2 sets, fatigues muscles in approx 8 reps

Modify resistance training to include two sets of each exercise with a weight that fatigues the muscles in approximately eight repetitions

Why?

This response is correct, as resistance training can create stress on the bone that will cause bone density to be preserved and possibly enhanced. To facilitate optimal bone changes, a higher load is recommended that will fatigue the muscles in approximately eight repetitions. This will stimulate the greatest response in terms of bone density changes.

ACE Personal Trainer Manual (5th ed.), pages 537-539

19
Q

Double-progressive protocol. How many reps to increase and how much load to increase?

A

Reps: 8 to 12 reps

Load: 5%

First, the client increases repetitions until he or she can perform the maximum number of repetitions in the range (e.g., 12 repetitions is the maximum number in the eight-to-12 range). Once the client reaches the high end of the repetition range, the resistance is increased by 5% and the client performs as many repetitions as possible with the new load. Once the client performs the high end of the repetition range with this new resistance, the resistance is progressed another 5%.

20
Q

for people performing extended bouts of cardiorespiratory exercise, how many of carb should be consumed/ hr?

A

30 to 60 grams of easily digestible carbohydrates every hour during training sessions lasting more than 60 minutes.

21
Q

MOST effective for a resistance-training program designed to increase muscular strength?

A

Sets of 4–6 repetitions at 80–90% 1 RM with 2–5 minute rest intervals

22
Q

How to perform 1-RM assessment?

A

Set 1: Est. 50% 5-10 reps; 1 min rest

Set 2: Est. 70% 3-5 reps; 1 min rest

Set 3: 80-90% 2-3 reps; 2 mins rest

25
Q

According to the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) 2005 Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI), what are the recommendations for percentage of calories consumed from carbohydrates, protein, and fat for active adults?

A

45–65% carbohydrates, 10–35% protein, and 20–35% fat

Why?

This is the correct response, as it matches the Institute of Medicine’s 2005 DRI for active adults to maintain optimal performance and health.

ACE’s Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals, page 176

26
Q

How many grams of carb to eat every hour during training sessions longer than an hour?

A

30 to 60 grams of easily digestible carbohydrates every hour during training sessions lasting more than 60 minutes.

27
Q

How to increase intensity of cardio training? How many % increase of duration/ week?

A

10% incraese of duration, frequency, then intensity per weak is safe and appropriate.

e. g. 3 days/ week at 25min/ session: 3x25 = 75 mins; increase (10%) to 82.5mins:
e. g. 4 days/week x 20mins = 80 mins

Progress time, then intervals. Maintain work-to-rest ratio 1:3.

e.g. current: 5 sets 1mins Zone 2 intervals, 3 mins recovery between sets.

A

1.550 times

30
Q
