ACE IFT Model is the application of external resistance to functional movement patterns
a primary focus?
Answer
Stability and mobility training
Movement training
Load training
Performance training
Question 3
Question
A client who is in the load-training phase of functional movement and resistance training
will be working in the anaerobic-endurance training phase of cardiorespiratory training.
Answer
True
False
Question 4
Question
It is essential that personal trainers conduct assessments of muscular strength and
endurance before a new client begins a stability and mobility training program.
Answer
True
False
Question 5
Question
During which phase of the functional movement and resistance training component of the
ACE IFT Model should assessments of muscular strength and endurance be introduced?
Answer
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Phase 4
Question 6
Question
No assessments are recommended during the aerobic-base training phase of
cardiorespiratory training.
Answer
True
False
Question 7
Question
What is a PRIMARY goal of introducing interval training during phase 2 of a client’s
cardiorespiratory training program?
Answer
To improve aerobic endurance by raising the intensity of exercise
To add variety to the program to avoid boredom
To help the client exercise at intensities beyond the first ventilatory threshold
To increase the client’s adherence to the program by improving his or her mood
state
Question 8
Question
A client who is in phase 3 of the cardiorespiratory training component of the ACE IFT
Model is beginning to utilize the three-zone training model based on ventilatory
threshold. Approximately what percentage of his time should be spent training between
VT1 and VT2?
Answer
>80%
70–80%
10–20%
<10%
Question 9
Question
Clients working in the anaerobic-power training phase of the ACE IFT Model generally
have goals related to _______________.
Answer
Long-duration, moderate-intensity events requiring great endurance
Long-duration events of a nearly constant speed and intensity
Short-duration, high-intensity efforts during longer endurance events
Short-duration, high-intensity events requiring explosive power but little endurance
Question 10
Question
What is the most important goal when working with special-population clientele?
Answer
To provide them with initial positive experiences that promote adherence through
easily achieved initial successes
To move them through the various phases of the ACE IFT Model with the
ultimate goal of improving fitness and performance
To reach the stage of resistance training during which external loads are
introduced, as this will improve their performance of activities of daily living
To teach them the importance of daily exercise and continuing with their
programs even during times of illness or discomfort
