Which of these is not an appropriate method of injury prevention?
  1. Encourage open communication with the client regarding any potential fatigue or pain during a training session
  2. Take meticulous records of each training session and plan a safe and reasonable progression for each client
  3. Use baseline health assessments as your primary indicator of a client’s risk of injury
  4. Watch the client closely for signs of fatigue that they may not report
Explanation
Answer: C - Personal Trainers should maintain open channels of communication with their client, encouraging them to voice concerns regarding any fatigue or pain they might feel during the training session. Trainers should also be able to spot visual signs of fatigue in clients and combine this data with that which the clients report deciding whether a training program should be modified. Additionally, trainers should keep meticulous records of repetitions, sets, and weight loads for each training session in order to plot a safe and reasonable progression for the client. However, trainers should remember that even an otherwise healthy client can sustain an injury.
