Class participants present with variable states of motor learning. The instructor looking to train kinesthetic awareness and postural control across the spectrum of motor learning will encourage all the following EXCEPT:
  1. Maintaining appropriate joint range of motion (avoiding hyper flexion and hyperextension)
  2. Performing quick reversals of direction
  3. Alternating between upper and lower extremity movements to avoid overuse
  4. Performing stretching in a non-ballistic manner
Explanation
Answer: B - The Group Fitness Instructor (GFI) looking to encourage kinesthetic awareness and postural control will encourage participants to change direction in a smooth and controlled manner, not with a rapid reversal of direction. Other ways that the GFI can encourage control and whole body balance during exercise class include encouraging participants to: exercise within an appropriate range of motion; move the limbs with deliberate activation instead of using momentum; balance opposing muscle groups (i.e. quadriceps and hamstrings); alternate between upper and lower extremity movements; incorporate balance into exercise routines; and perform stretches that are not ballistic in nature.
