Category - ACSM Group Exercise Instructor Practice Test

One of the responsibilities of the Group Fitness Instructor (GFI) is to uphold public trust in the health and fitness industry. Which of the following is LEAST likely to help enhance public appreciation for the industry?
  1. Mentor, educate and train novice instructors
  2. Endorse commercial products
  3. Encourage use of informed consent documents
  4. Refer participants to outside health care providers
Explanation
Answer: B - In an age of hyper-commercialization, the Group Fitness Instructor (GFI) should resist the urge to lend credibility to false or unsubstantiated claims by endorsing commercial products. The GFI who positions his or herself in the role of “spokes model” risks alienating the public trust in the industry at large and in the instructor in particular. Instead, the instructor who values this responsibility should encourage professional behaviors (such as obtaining informed consent), train future generations and refer to other professionals whenever appropriate.
