Category - ACSM Group Exercise Instructor Practice Test

Novice instructors are at special risk of losing control of their classes. One of the best ways to control variables is to create a choreography cheat sheet. Which of the following is LEAST likely to be part of such as cheat-sheet?
  1. Timeframe for each movement to be instructed
  2. Progressions and regressions for each movement
  3. Social goals for each movement
  4. Functional purposes for each movement
Explanation
Answer: C - Choreography cheat-sheets do not typically address social goals for movements, although socialization is a key motivational element of exercise. Instead, such cheat-sheets list the movements to be executed, how long -- and in which order -- the movements should be performed, progressions and regression options, and the reason or functional purpose for doing the movement (for example, to increase cardiopulmonary status or improve flexibility). As an instructor moves into mastery, class planning can become less detailed, but it still remains essential. Instructors who “fly by the seat of their pants” create a sense of chaos in their classes, preventing participants from moving into the autonomous stage of learning.
