This key training principle emphasizes adapting exercise and communication based on how a condition affects the individual, rather than focusing on the diagnosis itself.
What is individual-centered training (or focusing on the individual, not the disability)?
This type of training uses rapid, explosive bodyweight movements to improve power output.
What are plyometrics?
This key advantage of app-based exercise programs allows workouts to fit easily into a person’s daily schedule, improving adherence.
What is easy integration into daily life (or convenience)?
This type of ankle injury most commonly occurs with plantarflexion and inversion and often involves the ATFL ligament.
What is a lateral ankle sprain?
This altitude range includes elevations from about 1200–2400 meters and is where cities like Denver are located.
What is moderate altitude?
This laboratory measure reflects average blood glucose levels over the past 2–3 months and is most commonly used to diagnose diabetes.
What is HbA1C?
This phase of the stretch-shortening cycle must be very short to maximize power output during explosive movements.
What is the amortization phase?
This feature of fitness apps—along with goal setting and progress tracking—helps increase long-term user engagement and adherence.
What is personalization?
This symptom of thoracic outlet syndrome includes numbness or tingling in the distal upper extremity, especially during overhead activity.
What is numbness and tingling in the arm (or upper extremity)?
This condition occurs when body temperature drops below 95°F due to excessive heat loss in cold environments.
What is hypothermia?
During exercise, individuals with hypertension should avoid this breathing technique because it can cause dangerously high blood pressure.
What is the Valsalva maneuver?
These plyometric exercises involve ground contact times less than 250 milliseconds and emphasize quick, elastic rebounds.
What are fast stretch-shortening cycle (fast SSC) movements?
This type of tele-exercise session occurs live via videoconferencing platforms like Zoom or Skype.
What are synchronous sessions?
This stage of training is characterized by short-term performance decline but can lead to improved performance if adequate recovery occurs.
What is overreaching (functional overreaching)?
This environmental measure accounts for temperature, humidity, wind, and solar radiation to assess heat stress during exercise.
What is Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT)?
This class of exercise is the primary focus for managing dyslipidemia due to its role in caloric expenditure and weight loss.
What is aerobic exercise?
According to general guidelines, this is the recommended frequency for plyometric training sessions per week to allow proper nervous system recovery.
What is 2–3 sessions per week?
These devices track metrics like heart rate, step count, VO₂, and sleep, but may have variable validity and reliability.
What are wearable technologies?
This knee injury mechanism involves medial collapse, combining valgus stress with internal rotation of the femur.
What is an ACL injury?
This legal protection is essential for personal trainers and helps cover claims of negligence or injury during training sessions.
What is professional liability insurance?
In individuals with diabetes, this acute condition occurs when fat metabolism produces excessive ketones, increasing blood acidity due to insufficient insulin.
What is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)?
This training principle recommends increasing plyometric volume by no more than this percentage per week to reduce injury risk.
What is the 10% rule?
This major limitation of telehealth training refers to declining user participation over time, which impacts program effectiveness.
What is reduced user engagement (or adherence over time)?
This condition is diagnosed through a process of elimination and involves long-term performance decline along with mood disturbances.
What is overtraining syndrome (OTS)?
This business concept refers to the point at which a trainer’s revenue equals their total costs, meaning no profit or loss.
What is the break-even point (break-even analysis)?
