If a participant approaches a Group Fitness Instructor (GFI) seeking advice for a present or post-injury, the GFI must NOT:
  1. Respect the defined scope of practice
  2. Diagnose the injury
  3. Ask the question” Is the individual ready for exercise or should he/she see a doctor first?”
  4. Modify the exercise class using non-injured body parts
Explanation
Answer: B - If a participant approaches a fitness professional seeking advice for a present or post-injury, a GFI should not attempt to diagnose the injury. It is not within the fitness instructor’s scope of practice to diagnose. Instead, a thorough medical history will help the GFI make appropriate decisions, including making appropriate exercise modifications to avoid stressing the injured part.
