One of the most important responsibilities of a Group Fitness Instructor is to provide understandable cues from “afar”. Many of these cues relate to safety. Which of the following are the MOST likely to be classified by Biscontini (2011) as safety-related cues?
Explanation
Answer: C - Biscontini categorizes methods of cuing as being either safety-, timing-, education-, motivation- or structure-related. Common types of cues related to safety would include: anatomical, alignment, breathing and equipment. Other types of cues relate to timing (numerical, counting, tempo and rhythm), education (relevance, functional purpose, progressions and regressions), and motivation (encouraging, energetic, reinforcement and humor).
