Prior to a new client beginning a exercise routine, a fitness professional has the responsibility to do all the following EXCEPT:
  1. Require a pre-participation screening to document any existing conditions the client might have that might affect safe performance
  2. Recommend a fitness class based on the physical appearance of the client
  3. Examine all health history and collected data closely for information that affects programming decisions
  4. Conduct an efficient screening appropriate for the target population
Explanation
Answer: B - The fitness professional should never make determinations of health or fitness based on physical appearance alone. Many prospective participants will be healthy people with a goal of improving their personal health and fitness levels. Others who appear fit, however, may not have exercised for years or may have underlying health or medical conditions. Facilities should provide a participant screening process to document any existing conditions that might affect safe performance in an exercise program - and then act on the information gathered.
