Overview
Read the 2 documents provided to understand what to do for the case study. When you have finished reading it please DO THE TRADITIONAL APPROACH. DO NOT DO THE AI APPROACH!!! The textbook used in this class in the "ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription"
Answer the following questions below to complete the assignment. (Note: Week five question should be a complete workout, but for the other questions “detailed vagueness” is ok (ex: three chest exercises and two shoulder exercises). Intensity and progression should be detailed and specific!!!)
1. Look at the case study people. Which one of the three did you pick?
2. Pick one of the three case studies for this class.
- List if you are doing the "traditional" or "AI" option for this question (-10pts for not listing or listing incorrectly)
- Copy and paste (or re-create) the table below into the answer box (5 pts) and fill out the table with items 3-5.
- For the person, name 3-5 specific goals for this person (10 pts)
- For each goal, list which test will you use to test that goals (10 pts)
- For each goal, provide a SHORT supportive rationale on why that test and goal (10 pts)
| Goal | Test | Rationale |
| Goal 1 (req) | ||
| Goal 2 (req) | ||
| Goal 3 (req) | ||
| Goal 4 (opt) | ||
| Goal 5 (opt) |
Traditional: Fill in each box without using any AI (internet is OK; the AI-assist at the top of Google searches counts as AI)
3. Design a 12-week training plan. Please format it in bullets or a table (-10pts for paragraphs/ big blocks of text), Also, please don't make it too long because I have to read and grade 160 of these :)
Think of this as one mesocyle, with 2-3 microcyles in it. It should:
- List if you are doing traditional or AI version
- Meets at least two ACSM exercise recommendations (CRE and RE; flexibility is optional and depends on the goals for the person) (10pts)
- Include all components of FITT-PV specific intensity and progression (10pts)
- Address a components of the plan specific to the person, their goals, and other details provided in their case (10pts)
Traditional: Fill in each box without using any AI (internet is OK; the AI-assist at the top of Google searches counts as AI)
4. What is your overall plan for progression for your case study? Please use bullets or a table (no paragraphs or large blocks of text)
Traditional: Fill in each box without using any AI (internet is OK; the AI-assist at the top of Google searches counts as AI)
5. Intensity
- What is your overall plan for intensity for the person? (5 pts)
- How are you prescribing intensity? (% 1RM, HRR, etc.) (5pts)
- What is your rationale for this intensity range? (10pts)
If you want to talk about progression and intensity together, you can do it above with progression and here just say "above" but make sure it is complete!
Traditional: Fill in each box without using any AI (internet is OK; the AI-assist at the top of Google searches counts as AI)
6. Look at week 5 in your mesocyclone.
In a bulleted numbered list (no paragraphs or large blocks of text):
- Is this appropriate for the person? (5pts)
- Why or why not? (5pts)
- What key things are you looking at specific to your person in week 5? (5pts)
Traditional: Fill in each box without using any AI (internet is OK; the AI-assist at the top of Google searches counts as AI)
