Study Notes
Program Design Assessments
- Assessments are the initial step in program design, helping trainers determine appropriate, customized, safe, and attainable goals for clients.
- A well-designed program includes exercise types, duration, frequency, intensity, total training time, short and long-term goals.
- Trainers can modify the system's suggested program, creating a personalized program.
- Changes to resistance training schedules can be applied the next day, next week, or upon new program creation.
- Cardio training allows customization of day, time, duration, and activity selection.
- Multiple activities per day can be chosen, with some automatically selected based on client preferences.
- Program design involves the trainer and client in an interactive process. Assessing client acceptance and identifying motivational barriers are also crucial parts of program design.
Motivational Factors in Program Design
- Program design is an interactive process between the trainer and client assessing client acceptance and identifying motivational barriers.
- Goal setting involves educating clients on realistic goals and time frames.
- The client's primary goal is the most important factor in design.
- Programs must account for realistic expectations, fitness levels, age, and time constraints, which should align with the client's interests and abilities, reevaluated periodically.
- Program design is ongoing, evolving as the client's fitness and goals change.
- Client's genetic potential influences training's outcomes: High fitness gains begin low initially, decline as the client nears potential.
- Maintaining client motivation is crucial; less dramatic progress may lead to boredom and demotivation.
- Clients may possess unrealistic expectations concerning their physical potential, seeking rapid progress with minimal effort, and the trainer must set realistic goals.
Muscular Imbalances and Injuries
- Muscular imbalances arise from repetitive movements, poor posture, or weak/tight muscles.
- Imbalances affect joint function, reducing range of motion.
- Treatment focuses on strengthening weak muscles and stretching tight muscles.
- Arthritis involves joint inflammation (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis).
- Management includes multiple sessions daily, extended warm-ups, and decreased intensity/duration during inflammation.
- Monitor pain carefully, as anti-inflammatories may affect pain perception.
- Osteoporosis weakens bones and joints; caution is crucial for older clients and those with hip replacements or fractures.
- Aging populations have diminished abilities to regulate fluid balance in response to dehydration and thirst.
Avoiding Overexertion and Injury
- Client feedback is essential during and after program design.
- Programs should be adapted based on the client's goals and abilities.
- Overexertion signals dizziness, lightheadedness, complexion changes, profuse sweating, and facial expressions.
- Muscle exhaustion, improper posture, labored breathing, and faltering movement are dangerous signs.
- Thorough exercise instruction prevents overexertion.
- Distinguish muscle fatigue from unintentional pain. Unexplained pain in non-targeted muscles may indicate an issue with unfamiliar movements.
- Men over 80 and women over 65 may have undiagnosed osteoporosis.
Dysfunctional Breathing
- Dysfunctional breathing—shallow breathing without diaphragm use—is dangerous and requires medical attention.
- Monitor breathing patterns and identify muscles used; improper breathing using secondary muscles may lead to altered posture, headaches, dizziness, and limitation in spine and ribcage movement.
- Ineffective breathing reduces oxygen levels and causes metabolic build-up, causing stiffness, fatigue, and anxiety.
- Breathing issues can affect sleep and circulation.
- Trainers can correct dysfunctional breathing by focusing on client diaphragmatic breathing.
