Assessments, Program Design & Special Populations Flashcards
Someone that has an illness or ailment lasting more than a few yrs (asthma, elderly, aids) would be considered in the:
Special Population
Body fat % that is considered obese for men and women:
Male - 25%
FEMALE - 35%
Which form of diabetes is primarily seen in children and young adults and will require the injection of insulin?
Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM)
A metabolic disorder characterized by problems with the production, supply and recognition of insulin (regulation of blood sugars)
Diabetes
What metabolic disorder might include all the following symptoms?
Frequent urination, slow healing of sores or cuts, itchy skin, weight gain, fatigue, blurry vision and increased thirst or hunger.
Diabetes
Diabetes can lead to a ___________ if client eats an improper diet and does not engage in regular exercise.
Blood Sugar Reaction
Which of the following can help regulate blood sugars and increase insulin sensitivity to potentially decrease need for insulin shots while reducing body fat?
A. Consistent Progressive Cardiovascular Exercise
B. Consuming “good fats”
C. Consuming more fiber
D. FIITR
A. Consistent Progressive Cardiovascular Exercise
Appropriate diet of ____________ can prevent non-insulin dependent diabetes from occurring and avoid side effects of diabetes.
A. Starchy fiber rich carbs
B. Lean proteins
C. Healthy fats
D. All the above
E. Only A&C
D. All the Above
Hormone production
Maximum oxygen uptake
Bone rigidity and porosity
Neurological capabilities
Muscle mass and strength
Balance
What do these functions have in common in relation to aging?
They decrease with age
Name as many functions that you can that decrease with age:
-Hormone production
-Maximum oxygen uptake
-Bone rigidity and porosity
-Neurological capabilities
-Muscle mass and strength
-Balance
3 Functions that INCREASE as you age:
-Fat body mass
-Resting and training heart rate
-Dependence on others for ADL’s (activities of daily living)
-Fatigue vs overtraining
-Pain from exertion vs acute pain
-Breathing hard vs labored breathing
-Heart rate increase vs arrhythmia
These are variables for what type of individuals?
Special Populations
Which of the following is NOT a Guideline for special populations?
A. Determine whether you are qualified and want to help such a client (risk vs benefit)
B. Research information on their condition and with your client and their doctor.
C. Determining their body fat and heart rate.
D. Complete a comprehensive health history on medications and limitations.
E. Obtain medical clearance if necessary.
F. Empower your client to be as independent as possible.
C. Determining their body fat and heart rate
The GOAL of the trainer for a special population is to:
A. Keep problems from occurring.
B. Empower the client to be as independent as possible
C. Slow the process of limitations caused by the individuals’s condition.
D. All the above
E. Only A & C
F. Only B &C
E. Only A & C
Empowering is one of the GUIDELINES.
Which of the following is NOT a modification for aging & elderly?
A. Exercise consistently to stimulate hormone production.
B. Utilizing HIIT Cardio
C. Train with increasing resistance to slow the loss of bone and muscle mass.
D. Include basic balance activities for normal movement (multi-planar).
E. Use the RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) for frequent check-ups.
B. Utilizing HIIT Cardio
High blood pressure at or above 140/90 mm/hg.
Hypertension
Low blood pressure at or below 90/55 mm/hg
Hypotension
Which of the following prescribed by doctors does NOT lower blood pressure?
A. Diuretics
B. beta-blockers
C. MAOI inhibitors
D. ACE inhibitors
E. Calcium-channel blockers
C. MAOI inhibitors
A weight loss goal for an obese individual that would be appropriate:
A. 1lb a week
B. 1-3lbs a week
C. 3-5lbs a week
D. 5-7lbs a week
B. 1-3lbs a week
This can cause wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness or headaches due to overexertion.
Exercise Induced Asthma
This can be exacerbated at any time due to air pollution or other allergens in the immediate environment.
Chronic Asthma
An involuntary constriction of the smooth muscles of the bronchial passage limited air flow to the lungs.
Asthma
Which of the following can help improve the aerobic capacity of someone with asthma?
A. Light to moderate progressive aerobic exercise
B. Breathing through the nose
C. Inhalers
D. All the above
E. A & B
F. B & C
E. A & B
True or False:
When looking at body fat percentage, a female is considered obese with a body fat of 25% or above and a male of 32% or above.
False
