2 Case Studies

2 Case Studies Order Description * I have listed the 2 case studies that need to be completed. At the bottom, I have provided an example case study. Please do not use the example case study in" rel="nofollow">in any way shape or form to formulate the 2 case studies I am requestin" rel="nofollow">ing. I only wanted to show an example as to whats required in" rel="nofollow">in my two case studies. The details are as follows*: CASE STUDY 1 INSTRUCTIONS: This section of your fin" rel="nofollow">inal exam provides you with an opportunity to apply all of the in" rel="nofollow">information you have learned throughout the course to the work that you will be doin" rel="nofollow">ing as a 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 describin" rel="nofollow">ing the logistics of the program, you will also be asked to explain" rel="nofollow">in 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 in" rel="nofollow">into practice without havin" rel="nofollow">ing to contact you for explanation of what to do or why to do it. Before you fin" rel="nofollow">inalize your submission, make sure your program passes the followin" rel="nofollow">ing tests: 1. Is the train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing program that you are designin" rel="nofollow">ing 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 standpoin" rel="nofollow">int? Who would be held liable if your client was in" rel="nofollow">injured durin" rel="nofollow">ing train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing because of either liftin" rel="nofollow">ing too much weight or exceedin" rel="nofollow">ing a certain" rel="nofollow">in heart rate? 3. Is your program justifiable from a busin" rel="nofollow">iness standpoin" rel="nofollow">int? 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" rel="nofollow">in your program design? 4. Imagin" rel="nofollow">ine that YOU are the payin" rel="nofollow">ing client. Would you feel that your money was well spent if you were handed the train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing program/dietary recommendations? Calculations: Calculate the client's target heart rate usin" rel="nofollow">ing the Karvonen formula. Train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing Program: Design full a 12-week periodized train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing program for the client described in" rel="nofollow">in the Client Profile. Be very specific as you design the train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing program. This is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your full comprehension of the in" rel="nofollow">information and concepts discussed throughout the course. List the types of exercise, duration, sets, reps, rest in" rel="nofollow">intervals, and so on. Include the followin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in your case study submission: A description of your professional responsibilities as discussed in" rel="nofollow">in the stages of the drawin" rel="nofollow">ing-in" rel="nofollow">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" rel="nofollow">in the client profile A fully detailed 12-week comprehensive and periodized train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing program in" rel="nofollow">includin" rel="nofollow">ing specific exercises, sets, repetitions, suggested rest times, etc. Use an in" rel="nofollow">integrated approach in" rel="nofollow">in your program recommendations. Specific and detailed nutritional strategies and an explanation as to how the strategies will assist the client in" rel="nofollow">in meetin" rel="nofollow">ing energy needs Explanation for your chosen assessment, programmin" rel="nofollow">ing, and nutritional recommendations. (Be sure to reference course concepts when discussin" rel="nofollow">ing rationale for your recommendations. Keep in" rel="nofollow">in min" rel="nofollow">ind that a client should be able to take your program and put it in" rel="nofollow">into practice without havin" rel="nofollow">ing to contact you to clarify what you in" rel="nofollow">intended by your recommendations or to explain" rel="nofollow">in 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" rel="nofollow">in the course. Be sure to address why the program and exercises recommended are appropriate for the specific client given the clientÕs history, current abilities, and in" rel="nofollow">intended goal(s). For example: if you are developin" rel="nofollow">ing a program for a begin" rel="nofollow">inner client without any resistance train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing experience, explain" rel="nofollow">in how your program addresses the lack of experience, in" rel="nofollow">initial need for foundational development, process by which you would safely progress the client, etc. Tyin" rel="nofollow">ing your program to course concepts is a critical component of your case study. Review the Client Profile below.

Review the Client Profile below. Client Profile: Clark Kent Age: 17 Gender: Male Restin" rel="nofollow">ing Heart Rate: 55 bpm Height: 5'11" Weight: 165 lb Body Fat Percentage: 15% Background and Goals: Clark is a junior in" rel="nofollow">in high school and is eager to gain" rel="nofollow">in some muscle mass and strength before his fin" rel="nofollow">inal football season next year. He knows very little about nutrition and his diet consists primarily of processed foods (i.e., fast food, cafeteria food, etc.). He eats two or three meals per day on average. Clark's train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing regimen has been sporadic and in" rel="nofollow">inconsistent recently, so he is comin" rel="nofollow">ing to you for help. He is anxious to be at his best by the start of his senior season, which is three months away.

CLIENT CALCULATIONS Use the in" rel="nofollow">information above to calculate the followin" rel="nofollow">ing. Only the fin" rel="nofollow">inal answer is required. You do not need to show full calculations. What is the client's BMI? What is the client's BMR? Usin" rel="nofollow">ing the Karvonen formula, what is the client's target heart rate at 60% and 80%? ASSESSMENT, TRAINING, AND NUTRITIONAL STRATEGY Usin" rel="nofollow">ing the in" rel="nofollow">information above, address poin" rel="nofollow">ints a-c. Discuss fitness tests or methods of evaluation that should be used to assess the client, providin" rel="nofollow">ing rationale for your recommendations.

Sample Case Study Response The case study provides an opportunity for you to put your fitness knowledge in" rel="nofollow">into practice and design a program for a sample client. Thin" rel="nofollow">ink of the case study as your first payin" rel="nofollow">ing client. Give as much detail as someone new to fitness would need. In addition, provide the rationale for each of your decisions as if you were discussin" rel="nofollow">ing the program with educated fitness professionals. The followin" rel="nofollow">ing provides a formattin" rel="nofollow">ing approach that you can use when structurin" rel="nofollow">ing your answer. Please note, however, the content serves as a min" rel="nofollow">inimal representation of what is expected. To prove your competency in" rel="nofollow">in program design, you will need to provide greater detail, as well as rationale for your program decisions. If you have any questions about comprehensive program design, feel free to contact Educational Support. A. While Jocko may appear to be a dream client on the surface, I realize that his athletic background and mid- life crisis that brought him here will probably lead to more than a little impatience on his part. At my in" rel="nofollow">initial consultation I would explain" rel="nofollow">in to him that I would need at least a three-month commitment from him to ensure his gettin" rel="nofollow">ing started on the right foot. In my experience most clients need about this long to really get in" rel="nofollow">in the swin" rel="nofollow">ing of thin" rel="nofollow">ings and start seein" rel="nofollow">ing some results. At this time I would establish my fees, get him signed up and give him a health history questionnaire to fill out for our next meetin" rel="nofollow">ing. After this I would set up our first appoin" rel="nofollow">intment. I would plan on havin" rel="nofollow">ing enough time in" rel="nofollow">in the first session to have him complete a release of liability form and go over his health history questionnaire. If he had any red flags or other concerns we would hold off on train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing until I had spoken to his doctor and he had gotten a doctor’s release. Otherwise we would get started on the enclosed program. Before startin" rel="nofollow">ing I would do circumference, bodyweight and bodyfat percentage measurements so we can track his progress. B. I would follow the enclosed program (see program on the followin" rel="nofollow">ing page) for a few reasons. First, the first mesocycle is a low volume, low in" rel="nofollow">intensity one that is designed main" rel="nofollow">inly to in" rel="nofollow">increase tendon and ligament strength and allow him to get back in" rel="nofollow">in the groove of workin" rel="nofollow">ing out without askin" rel="nofollow">ing too much of him and discouragin" rel="nofollow">ing him. After a foundation has been set I would want to in" rel="nofollow">increase the in" rel="nofollow">intensity and volume levels resultin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in a routin" rel="nofollow">ine geared towards muscle growth. Next I would work on limit strength by in" rel="nofollow">introducin" rel="nofollow">ing a mesocycle that had very high in" rel="nofollow">intensity levels and moderate volume. We would then reassess his goals and see where to go from there. C. My nutritional strategy for this client would consist of 5 high calorie days and 2 low calorie days. I would suggest he follow a 1-2-3 or 1-2-4 macronutrient ratio dependin" rel="nofollow">ing on his metabolism and mesocycle. The higher in" rel="nofollow">intensity mesocycles would warrant more carbs, while the lower in" rel="nofollow">intensity one’s would not need as much fuel. I would suggest he get around 160 grams of protein" rel="nofollow">in a day and get his fat from “healthy” fats such as olive oil and hemp seed oil. The easiest way to estimate his daily caloric requirements is to have him keep a food log for a few days and see where he is at now. It will be much easier to make adjustments to his diet if I have a reference poin" rel="nofollow">int.
