Issue Among Young Women After Giving Birth
Instructions:
This section of your final exam provides you with an opportunity to apply all of the information you have learned throughout the course to the work that you will be doing as a certified professional.
You will be presented with two client profiles, and will be asked to design a 12-week periodized program for each client. In addition to describing the logistics of the program, you will also be asked to explain why you have designed the program the way that you have.
Approach these clients as you would approach a real-life situation. Your client should be able to take your program and put it into practice without having to contact you for explanation of what to do or why to do it.
Before you finalize your submission, make sure your program passes the following tests:
1. Is the training program that you are designing appropriate, safe, and effective for the client, given the client's physical abilities and primary goals?
2. Could you defend your program from a legal standpoint? Who would be held liable if your client was injured during training because of either lifting too much weight or exceeding a certain heart rate?
3. Is your program justifiable from a business standpoint? Are you professional with your current clients? Would they refer their friends, family, or colleagues to you based on the guidance that you provide in your program design?
4. Imagine that YOU are the paying client. Would you feel that your money was well spent if you were handed the training program/dietary recommendations?
Case Study 1
Calculations: Calculate the client's target heart rate using the Karvonen formula.
Training Program: Design a full 12-week periodized training program for the client described in the Client Profile. Be very specific as you design the training program. This is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your full comprehension of the information and concepts discussed throughout the course. List the types of exercise, duration, sets, reps, rest intervals, and so on.
Include the following in your case study submission:
A description of your professional responsibilities as discussed in the stages of the drawing-in process (Unit 12)
Discussion of any fitness tests, methods of evaluation, and data collection used to assess and evaluate the client's needs
Specific conditions that you have identified in the client profile
A fully detailed 12-week comprehensive and periodized training program including specific exercises, sets, repetitions, suggested rest times, etc. Use an integrated approach in your program recommendations.
Specific and detailed nutritional strategies and an explanation as to how the strategies will assist the client in meeting energy needs
Explanation for your chosen assessment, programming, and nutritional recommendations. (Be sure to reference course concepts when discussing rationale for your recommendations.
Keep in mind that a client should be able to take your program and put it into practice without having to contact you to clarify what you intended by your recommendations or to explain parts of your program.
Don't forget your explanation for WHY you listed and recommended what you did. Reference the concepts and theories covered in the course. Be sure to address why the program and exercises recommended are appropriate for the specific client given the client's history, current abilities, and intended goal(s). For example: if you are developing a program for a beginner client without any resistance training experience, explain how your program addresses the lack of experience, initial need for foundational development, process by which you would safely progress the client, etc. Tying your program to course concepts is a critical component of your case study.
Review the Client Profile below.
Client Profile: Selina Kyle
Age: 31
Gender: Female
Resting Heart Rate: 70 bpm
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 159 lb
Body Fat Percentage: 33%
Background and Goals: Selina just had her first baby a couple months ago and is determined to shed excess pregnancy pounds before summer. Selina has very limited exercise experience. She did not play high school or college sports. Prior to having her first child, she did like to hike, go out dancing, and take the occasional yoga class. She is eager to start a program to lose the baby weight. She can dedicate 3 or 4 days per week to exercise and is willing to sign on for 12 weeks to start.
LAST MESSAGE FROM THE CLIENT June 6:
Here it is (from my professor)
Case Study #2
• With regard to your client’s preliminary information, you did not sufficiently discuss your required "professional responsibilities" as a trainer to safely analyze the needs of a client before starting an exercise program, nor did you provide specific reference to any specific methods of Assessment, that you would utilize with your client in order to determine their level of fitness prior to beginning their exercise program. Please refer to the information presented on the drawing-in phase in Unit 12, and specific fitness assessments in Unit 13 of the text to address these areas.
• With regards to your program design, you are required to include a full 12-week PERIODIZED training program. Please also provide a more in-depth explanation and/or validation behind the different aspects of your program, including any resistance training, cardiovascular training, or flexibility training in your case studies. If you have not done so already, please review the Sample Case Study Answer provided to you in your Practice Examination. In addition, it may help if you review pages 361-452 in your text which is Unit 12 to Unit 20.
• With regards to your nutrition, you need to provide a more comprehensive nutritional strategy for each client specific to their particular dietary needs. We would like for you to provide both general and specific dietary guidance, and nutrition recommendations for your client, so as to provide them with guidance that could assist them in achieving their goal(s), while providing them ample energy to do so. We would like for you to go beyond simply stating the clients’ BMR/DCE or their required daily protein, carbohydrate and fat requirements, but to explain your reasoning behind your calculations as well. Please review Units 17-20 in your text book pertaining to nutrition and dietary guidance.
• In addition, please be sure that you provide a definitive connection between your initial evaluation, the assessments you chose, the actual exercise program design, the nutrition strategy, and how each aspect will most effectively assist them in achieving their goal(s). If you have not done so already, please review the Sample Case Study Answer provided to you in your Practice Examination. In addition, it may help if you review pages 361-452 in your text which is Unit 12 to Unit 20.

Final Exam Case Study Paper
Weight gain is a common issue among young women after giving birth. When precautions such as exercises, which include jogging, hikes, dancing, and occasional yoga classes, are not done after the pregnancy, they can affect the women on a long term. Excess weight gain occurs due to lack of sleep, lack of rest and general life stresses. When the women experience high stress, it makes their adrenal gland to pump more cortisol to the blood stream. The cortisol hormone sends signals to the hypothalamus that the life of the individual is unstable and is in danger. In response to the signals sent to the hypothalamus, the body starts to store food, converting it into fat and then storing it in the area around the belly. Early exercise plans and programs can greatly help loss the excess weight, before it affects the individual. In this regard, I saw it necessary to make a case study for Selina Kyle, which can help her loss her excess weight. In my first consultation with Selina, I will explain to her that I will need a three commitment from her, so that she can gain back her normal weight. At this time length, I will be able to get her health history by having her fill a questionnaire and I will be able to establish my fees. After the consultation, I will prepare the first meeting where in this I will give her a release of liability form to fill and go through the filled history questionnaire. I will give her a chance to ask any questions that she may be willing to know and I would perform some measurements such as her body weight, body fat percentage and her circumference.
Calculation of the patient’s heart rate using the Karvonen formula
206-(0.88*age)
206-(0.88*31) =178.72
178.72-resting heart rate
178.72-70=36
36*65 %( low end of heart rate zone) or 85% (high end)
23.4 Or 30.6
23.4+70=93.4
30.6+70=100.6
It is therefore evident from the calculation that the target heart rate per minute for Selina is between 93.4-100.6 beats per minute.
206.9 is the maximum heart rate for a woman
65% of the MHR is considered the low end of the MHR, while 85% of the MHR is taken to be the high end
For the exercises, I will recommend my patient to perform the following exercises
Head lifts: 2sets, 14repetitions
Shoulder Lifts: 3 sets, 12repetitions
Curl-Ups: 2sets, 14repetitions
Kneeling pelvic Tilt: 3sets, 12 repetitions
Kegels: 2 sets, 11repetitions
The baby glider: 1set, 14repetitions
The baby bouncer: 3sets, 15 repetitions
Rock-a-baby squats and curls: 4repetitions, 15repetitions
AEROBICS
The aerobics are to be performed on Tuesdays and Thursdays and will entail a 30minites run
On Saturdays, the patient will do a one-minute sprint
For my patient, I will recommend the headlights, the shoulder lift and the curl-ups exercises because they help strengthen th...
