Instructor Kendra observes a class participant moving incorrectly or in an unsafe manner. The best way for her to provide positive feedback would be to say:
  1. “Don’t hold your breath while lifting weights.”
  2. “Holding your breath while weightlifting is not a good idea.”
  3. “Don’t bear down when you lift something heavy because it can be dangerous.”
  4. “Make sure you remember to exhale while you lift the weights to prevent doing the Valsalva maneuver.”
Explanation
Answer: D - When giving corrective feedback, Kendra should remain positive and focus on the solution, not the problem. Answers A - C are stated negatively and won’t ensure a positive experience for the participant receiving the feedback. It is also helpful to provide explanations of any terms that may be unfamiliar to participants (such as “Valsalva”) but such explanations should be short and pithy and easily understandable.
