Professional Responsibilities
As a fitness trainer and an aerobics instructor, I have the following professional obligations to my clients.
1 A responsibility to design appropriate routines that matches with the clients’ goals such as coming up with movements suitable for each set of muscles.
2 A duty to provide clients with relevant and necessary information regarding the mode of nutrition, lifestyle issues and weight control
3 A duty to monitor clients’ progress and adapt programs as recommended
4 A duty to formulate, explain and implement safety measures, governing policies on sports and explain the appropriate use of exercise equipment.
5 A duty to supervise or follow up on how clients take into the routine to help them meet their desired goals.
Fitness Tests
In reference to the clients’ profile, I will employ Daily Readiness Observation (DR.O) as the assessment approach. This method allows a trainer to be examined at four important aspects namely, lifestyle, physical, movement agility and mental/emotional state before beginning on a program or on a daily basis to establish whether the clients’ agility, endurance, and readiness on the set program. Particularly, the four distinct aspects include:
1 Under lifestyle, the trainer focuses on determining the client’s nutrition, sleeping level and their daily activities.
2 Under physical assessment, a client will be tested on her aerobic and anaerobic endurance limits by taking her through Copper Run and Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test and respectively. In addition, her local muscular endurance limits are tested through press-up and sit-up tests. The bottom of physical assessment is to measure a client’s pain, tightness and soreness level.
3 Under movement ability, the client will be tested on flexibility through simple movement observation on tests such as Sit & Reach Test and Calf Flexibility Test which assesses the flexibility of hamstrings and other joints of the body.
4 Lastly, the client is tested on her mental and emotional state of mind.
From the data gathered from all these parameters, it becomes simpler to develop a program that will fit the client’s behavior patterns and personality. Also, the data allows easy adjustment to the program. In addition, DR.O approach allows tracking of clients training sessions to monitor the progress.
Identified Specific Condition
Client’s Target Heart Rate = (Maximum HR − Resting HR) × %Intensity) + Resting HR. (Bompa, Tudor, Buzzichelli, & Carlo, 2015)
Max HR = 220 – 37 years = 183 bpm
(Minimum) 183- 75(Resting HR) * 0.60 + 75 (Resting HR) = 139.8 bpm
Maximum Target 183- 75 (Resting HR) * 0.70 + 75 (Resting HR) = 150. 6 bpm
Therefore, Diana’s heart rate zone ranges between 139.8 bpm and 150. 6 bpm
Body Fat Percentage: 31%, which is considerably high
From the height of 5”5’ and the weight of 160 lb., Diana has a BMI index of 27. This is an abnormal BMI for women as a normal one should range between 18.5 and 24.9: However, Diana does not fall into the...
