ACSM CIFT Module 3: Classifications, Client Consultation, Assessments, Goals

Classifications (Unit 1)

1000

This term explains how classification should be applicable to all people, 

under the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

Universality

2000

Including this kind of group/team can improve environmental factors and overall living situation for a client with the help of positive support.

Multidisciplinary

2000

This term expresses how the body works and senses its environment. Walking and pain sensations are common examples.

[Body] function

2000

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) defines this term as to be involved in life situations.

Participation

2500

Body structure and function limitations result in activity limitations, resulting in these kinds of limitations

Participation limitations

Client Consultation (Unit 2)

1000

Refers to activities that a person licensed to practice as a health professional is permitted to perform

Scope of practice

_{- Avoid providing recommendations outside of your area of health care expertise} 

_{- Activities performed should be based on appropriate education, training, and experience.} 

2000

It is said that you will learn more about a client during these than from standardized questionnaires or health background

Casual conversations

2000

The most important way to develop rapport is to stay engaged with the client by doing this

[Always] Listening (to what your client is saying)

- Non-verbal Listening Skills

• Eye Contact

• Body Language

• Vocal Tone and Rate of Speech

• Physical Space

• Time

2000

This is an evidence-based self-guided tool screening for evidence of risk factors during moderate physical activity and reviews family history and disease severity 

PAR-Q+

2500

Asking, 

"Is medical clearance needed?" & 

if recommended, determining that it is at the discretion of the health care provider

falls under this stage of client consultation

Pre-participation screening/PAR-Q+ 

/ 

Health screenings 

_{as defined by the ACSM in 2 steps}

Assessments (Unit 3)

1000

This type of assessment comes after Cardiovascular and Muscular Strength and Endurance

Flexiblity

2000

Frequent high risk for spina bifida and numerous surgeries. Maybe found with blood pressure cuffs and some exercise equipment.

Latex (allergy)

2000

This task often needs about 5 minutes of rest before and can be done manually using a stopwatch

Getting the resting heart rate (RHR)

2000

This is a risk for anyone who must sit or lie down for long periods of time. Septic infections or staph infections may arise.

Active Pressure Sores

2500

Some people with a T6 Spinal Cord Injury and above are notably at high risk for this type of concern.

Thermoregulation, due to autonomic dysreflexia (Lack of ability to regulate body heat through sweating)

_{lesion above T6 affects the sympathetic regulation of the heart: Low HR, impaired myocardial contractile force, impaired distribution of blood below the lesion (lack of vasoconstriction in the internal organs of the abdomen and the pelvis) so it hampers redistribution of blood during exercise.} 

_{In addition, blood flow in muscles and skin as well as the sweat gland activity in the affected skin below the lesion are impaired.} 

Goals (Unit 4)

1000

When doing three days, you should have 

Day 1 for: Initial client consultation _{(set tone for client-trainer relationship, pre-program screening, facility tour, detail expectations, etc.)}

Day 2 for: ___

Day 3 for: Goal setting consultation _{(noting the assessment and client needs and desires)}

Health assessments

- can play a role in driving goal selection

2000

This theory describes how an individual intends to be physically active if:

1. Action would lead to a client’s desired outcome

2. The outcome is valued by someone whose opinion the client values

3. The outcome is within the client’s control

Theory of Planned Behavior

2000

This theory describes how all aspects of the individual interact to influence behavior, someone’s environment is going to change (fluid) as that person evolves, and a person’s self-efficacy towards tasks and barriers is central.

Social Cognitive Theory (SCT)

• _{goal setting is key to self-control and self-regulation}

2000

The second "S" of SMARTS Goals and is especially vital for long-term goals 

Self-determined

• _{Goals: should be primarily developed/set by the client}

• _{Trainer: Guide & navigator for goal achievement}

2500

This theory describes how different stages of readiness [to make changes] will require individual interventions and is cyclical.

Transtheoretical Model (very popular!)
