Please refer to Units 14, 15 and 16 to address these requirements, and include this information at the end of question 4.
• Question 6: With regard to your sixth question, you need to provide a more comprehensive nutritional strategy for each client specific to their particular dietary needs. We would like for you to go beyond simply discussing the 1-2-3 and/or zig zag approach, and include information and recommendation based on the clients’ BMR/DCR as well as their required daily protein, carbohydrate and fat requirements. Please review Units 18-20 in your text book.
• In addition, for these case studies make sure you provide a definitive connection between your initial evaluation, the assessments you chose, the actual exercise program design, the nutrition strategy, and how each aspect will most effectively assist them in achieving their goal(s).

Sample Exam Answers
Sample Case Study – 1. Jocko Johnson
Age Gender Height Weight Body Fat %
30 Male 73 inches 200 18
Jocko was an athlete in high school playing a variety of sports including football, track (100- 400 meter events) and baseball. He has come to you because he has recently had his 30 th birthday and wants to get back in shape. While he is in decent shape already, Jocko wishes to get in excellent shape with an eye on perhaps competing in a local bodybuilding show in the future.
Sample Case Study Answer:
While Jocko may appear to be a dream client on the surface, I realize that his athletic background and mid- life crisis that brought him here will probably lead to more than a little impatience on his part. At my initial consultation I would explain to him that I would need at least a three- month commitment from him to ensure his getting started on the right foot. In my experience most clients need about this long to really get in the swing of things and start seeing some results. At this time I would establish my fees, get him signed up and give him a health history questionnaire to fill out for our next meeting.
After this I would set up our first appointment. I would plan on having enough time in the first session to have him complete a release of liability form and go over his health history questionnaire. If he had any red flags or other concerns we would hold off on training until I had spoken to his doctor and he had gotten a doctors release. Otherwise we would get started on the enclosed program. Before starting I would do circumference, bodyweight and bodyfat percentage measurements so we can track his progress.
I would follow the enclosed program for a few reasons. First, the first mesocycle is a low volume, low intensity one that is designed mainly to increase tendon and ligament strength and allow him to get back in the groove of working out without asking too much of him and discouraging him. After a foundation has been set I would want to increase the intensity and volume levels resulting in a routine geared towards muscle growth. Next I would work on limit strength by introducing a mesocycle that had very high intensity levels and moderate volume. We would then reassess his goals and see where to go from there.
My nutritional strategy for this client would consist of 5 high calorie days and 2 low calorie days. I would suggest he follow a 1-2-3 or 1-2-4 macronutrient ratio depending on his metabolism and mesocycle. The higher intensity mesocycles would warrant more carbs and the lower intensity ones would not need as much fuel. I would suggest he get around 160 grams of protein a day and get his fat from “healthy” fats such as olive oil and hemp seed oil. The easiest way to estimate his daily caloric requirements is to have him keep a food log for a few days and see where he is at now. It will be much easier to make adjustments to his diet if I have a reference point.
Sample Essay Questions
Short answer question:
What are the prime movers, synergists and stabilizers involved in the bench press?
Short answer answer:
The prime movers for the bench press are the pectoralis major and minor (pecs for short). The synergists are any muscles actively involved with the motion. While there are numerous muscles involved the main ones are the anterior deltoid and the triceps. Stabilizers are any muscles that contract isometrically to stabilize joints in order to perform the movement. Two of the main stabilizers involved in the bench press are the abdominals and the hamstrings.
Long essay question:
Actually go through the steps involved in launching your new business. Obtain your DBA, your business checking account and obtain liability insurance. Create all necessary forms including policies, rates, consent form, health history questionnaire, your portfolio and anything else that seems appropriate. Design your logo as well. Don’t hurry this, as it will define your business for a long time to come! Include copies of all of the above with your answer and include a description of any difficulties you may have encountered as you went through this process.
Long essay answer:
I have to be honest right off the bat here. I did actually obtain many of the things asked for in this question. My finances did not allow me to pay the $300 or so dollars it would cost to get my business off the ground and I am not sure that starting my own business right off the bat is my first plan of attack. I did go through all the steps asked for, though, not only to answer this question but so that I would be better prepared when the time actually comes to start my own business.
First things first I checked into the “Doing Business As” license, or DBA. I called the County Clerk’s office to inquire about where and how to obtain one. It was explained to me that I needed to go to the Hall of Records and fill out the appropriate paperwork and pay my $27 processing fee and then the name of my business would officially be mine.
Next on the agenda was a business license. A business name is no good if I cannot legally operate it. I was referred to City Hall for this one and informed that to obtain a business license for Santa Barbara, it would cost $100 and would have to be renewed annually. Again, a trip and some paperwork, along with my fee, were all that were needed.
Next I checked on a business checking account. After placing a few phone calls and visiting a few local banks I was able to find a bank that met all of the recommendations in The Complete Guide to Fiscal Fitness. Liability insurance was very easy to find out about with the brochure in our package that recommended a company. I called and was told that after I was certified my acceptance was all but assured.
Enclosed are the forms that I created on my friend’s computer for my business. I had another friend of mine who is an art design major at a local college help me design my logo. After all this preparation I feel very confident about starting my business when the time comes.
