Note on the use of this logbook and CPFLA tools.

Included in this first logbook are links to online CSEP-PATH forms.

The forms in the pre-screening and counselling labs are mostly tools to help you in the counselling and motivation of your clients. Some are more useful than others. However, each counsellor has his or her own style and each client is an individual. So although no fitness counsellor should be using all of these tools with one single client, there is no doubt that some will find different forms fit their needs/styles better than others.

For each Lab please read and sign the consent forms for the tests you have agreed to participate in as a subject.

Pre-Exercise Screening Lab

Fill out the required forms with yourself as the client and answer the questions in this logbook. Enter yourown blood pressure and heart rate readings in the log book where indicated. If two or more people have recorded your blood pressure and/or heart rate, average the results. The logbook is primarily for entering measurements you make on your clients (fellow students).

Muscular Endurance, Strength and Power Lab

All students will meet briefly at the regular lab room prior to being split into groups. Students will be expected to move quickly to and from Pipers Gym in order to accomplish all the testing that is scheduled in this lab session. Every student will perform the tests in this lab. Only the YMCA tests are optional.

Field Testing Lab

We will decide which field tests each student will participate in at the end of the screening Lab. Be sure to fill out the consent forms corresponding to the events you plan on participating in, this will be checked. Be sure and look through the descriptions of all of the field tests in your lab manual, as you will be responsible for their administration. Data from one subject is required for each field test. If you were a subject you can obtain your data after a warm down.

Bike Lab

We will utilize the bicycle ergometer to perform aerobic (YMCA) and anaerobic tests (Wingate). We will require several volunteers per lab group to participate as subjects in the tests.

Pre-Screening Lab Questions

What are you supposed to do as a fitness appraiser if a client answers "yes" to one or more of the questions on the PAR-Q+?

It has been reported that 25% of the population to whom the PAR-Q is administered will answer, "yes" to one or more of the questions. If you have very low % of your applicants responding "yes", what might explain this. Suggest at least three reasons.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a detailed medical history form versus just the PAR-Q?

4.Describe three considerations not covered by the PAR-Q form alone that you would consider the most important aspects of Health Screening. Briefly justify your choices.

5.According to the CSEP-PATH Manual:

a)how long is resting heart rate measured for?

b)what is the cut-off value for resting heart rate?

c)what is the cut-off value for resting blood pressure?

6.You are taking a client’s resting heart rate. Write out an answer to the question of what effect each of the following would have on this heart rate? Explain each of the effects in physiological terms, i.e. what is the mechanism for each?

a)Standing up from the seated posture (what is the almost immediate HR response?).

b)A high room temperature of 27oC (normal room temperature is 21-22oC).

c)Drinking caffeinated beverage 20 minutes before measurement.

d)Smoking a cigarette 5 minutes before measurement.

e)Eating a large meal 30 minutes before measurement.

f)Finishing a hard exercise session an hour before measurement is made.

Informed Consent for Dynamic Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance Tests (Laboratory)

I, ______, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following procedure as part of a laboratory in BPK 343, Active Health: Assessment and Programming.

The Hand Grip Strength test is a static maximal strengthassessment performed for several seconds. I will do this test twice with each hand.

The push up test is an endurance assessment in which I will perform consecutive push ups to my maximum with no time limit. It is important that I perform the push ups with proper technique. Push ups performed with incorrect technique will not be counted. The test is stopped when I am seen to strain forcibly or am unable to maintain the proper push up technique over two consecutive repetitions. I should avoid breath holding, and exhale on effort.I will inform the examiner that the push up test is not suitable for me if I have osteoporosis, lower back pain or shoulder problems.

The vertical jump test is a maximal power assessment that will be performed three times.I will inform the examiner that the vertical jump test is not suitable for me if I have osteoporosis, lower back pain or knee problems.

The one-leg stance test is a balance assessment that will be performed on both the right and left legs with eyes open and then eyes closed. I will place a chair in front of me within reach of my hands for safety.

I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:

-muscle strain from overexertion

-muscular fatigue, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or two after exercise.

-rare occurrences of dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or - very rarely - cardiac arrest

-accidents associated with the use of the apparatus, or muscular sprain or strain due to over-exertion or due to slipping during an exercise.

- Discomfort or significant rise in blood pressure due to breath holding during active phase of exercise.

I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:

-learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing

-help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test

-obtain results of my own muscular endurance

I understand that I may withdraw my consent to participate at any time, and that I may stop at any time during the test for any reason. I further understand that if I have any complaint about these procedures that I my address this complaint to the Chair, Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology.

Informed Consent for Dynamic Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance Tests (Gym)

I, ______, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following procedure as part of a laboratory in BPK 343, Active Health: Assessment and Programming.

The dynamic muscular endurance assessment is a battery of seven test items: arm curl, bench press, lat pull-down, triceps extension, knee extension, leg curl, sit-ups. For the first six items, I will perform as many repetitions as possible, up to a maximum of 15 repetitions. The load will be set as a fraction of my body mass. The sit-ups are done without any external load. The tests will be done in the S.F.U. weight room, and will be administered by one of my classmates in BPK 343.

The strength tests are a bench press and leg press performed to momentary muscular failure. I will choose a weight that I consider to be close to the maximum I can lift. I will then attempt to lift this weight as many times as possible.

I may also perform the YMCA bench press test whereby I will lift a set weight (males press 80 lbs and females press 35 lbs) as many times as possible. A metronome controls the cadence of these lifts and I will continue to lift until I either am unable to maintain the up-down cadence of 30 lifts per minute or I am unable to lift the weight in the correct manner.

I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:

-muscle strain from overexertion

-muscular fatigue, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or two after exercise.

-rare occurrences of dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or - very rarely - cardiac arrest

-accidents associated with the use of the weight-lifting apparatus, including dropping a weight on myself, pinching a finger in the apparatus, or muscular sprain or strain due to over-exertion or due to slipping during an exercise. The risk will be minimized by using Universal Gym equipment where possible, and by having a spotter.

I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:

-learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing

-help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test

-obtain results of my own muscular endurance

Informed Consent for Cooper Test

I, ______, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following procedure as part of a laboratory in BPK 343, Active Health: Assessment and Programming.

The Cooper Test is a maximal or near-maximal walk-run on a measured 400 meter (or 0.25 mile) track. I will warm up by walking and light jogging, then will stretch, emphasizing my calves and hamstrings. Then, with a group of other students, I will walk/run around the track as fast as I can for 12 minutes. The goal is to complete as many laps as possible in this time. I may also wear a portable heart rate meter, which is not required to get the Cooper Test score, but will help me with pacing.

I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:

-possible irritation of the skin of the chest from the elastic heart rate meter strap (if worn)

-muscular fatigue in the legs, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or two after exercise.

-rare occurrences of dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or - very rarely - cardiac arrest.

-aggravation of existing orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis.

-potential shortness of breath in those with exercise-induced asthma.

I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:

-learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing

-help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test

-obtain results of my own aerobic fitness

Informed Consent for the 1.5-Mile Run Test

I, ______, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following procedure as part of a laboratory in BPK 343, Active Health: Assessment and Programming.

The 1.5-mile run testis a maximal or near maximal walk-run on a measured 400-meter (or 0.25 mile) track. I will warm up by walking and light jogging and then will stretch, emphasizing my calves and hamstrings. Then, with a group of other students, I will walk/run around the track six times in a short a time as possible. I may also wear a portable heart rate meter, which is not required to get the 1.5 mile run Test score, but will help me with pacing.
