As a Group Fitness Instructor observes his or her class session, which types of participant would be LEAST expected to have special needs or requirements in order to exercise safely?
Explanation
Answer: A - Someone who is participating in a class for the first time may be healthy and at a high level of fitness, so it would be difficult for a GFI to judge whether or not the participant has special needs or requirements. However, those who are obese, pregnant, or who have physical disabilities are likely to have special needs or requirements, so it is important for a GFI to learn what these requirements may be. Remember that a GFI should not diagnose or treat any illness or injuries, as this is outside a GFI’s scope of practice.
