One of the responsibilities of the Group Fitness Instructor is to reduce the potential for injury to class members. Which of the following risk factors would be under the GREATEST control of the instructor?
  1. Friction coefficient of the flooring
  2. Environment (temperature, humidity, lighting) of the room
  3. Instruction and demonstration of movement execution
  4. Participant health history
Explanation
Answer: C - One of the greatest risk factors for injury during group exercise is the incorrect or faulty execution of movements, exercises or activities by class participants. This can occur because the participant is following faulty instructions or mimicking an improper demonstration… or it can occur completely independent of the instructor’s realm of responsibility. Certainly, other factors can contribute to a hazardous environment, for example a slippery pool deck, dimly lit weight room, or the participant’s own medical history.
