This section of your Assessment Workbook covers the unit ‘Know how to support clients who take part in exercise and
physical activity’ (see unit in the appendix for full criteria).
Y ou must:
• Answer all questions fully, paying close attention to the exact wording. Make sure you provide the number of

• Answer ALL questions correctly to pass the unit. Should you refer you will be asked to reattempt and resubmit
answers to only those questions you did not get correct first time.
Case study c li en t in form a t i on
Mrs Izumi Brown has just joined the health club where you are employed. She is not currently exercising and has joined the
gym because she wants to lose some weight and feel fitter. Izumi is 38 years old, has no medic al conditions and has
completed a PAR-Q with no positive responses. She comes across as a quiet but confident lady and is softly spoken with good
English.
During your consultation Izumi tells you she has 2 children, a son who is 4 years old and has just started school and a
daughter who is 2 years old. Izumi’s mother-in-law is able to look after her granddaughter for a couple of mornings each
week to give Izumi some time to exercise. Izumi used to do a lot of martial arts training when she was y ounger as she grew
up in Japan; however she stopped competing in Karate after she left university and got a demanding
job working for a bank. She hasn’t participated in any structured exercise for the last 14 years although she has always
walked a lot, at least 30 minutes each day. Whilst living in Tokyo Izumi did not need a car and it is only in the last 6 years,
since moving out of central London, that she has started driving regularly. Izumi does, however, still walk her son the 20
minutes to school and 15 minutes back (she can walk quicker without him). She does this pushing her daughter in a
pushchair and will do the same to collect him at the end of the d a y.
Izumi has never used a gym or been to exercise classes other than martial arts, which she used to enjoy and would like to do
again once she feels fitter. She is open to trying different things but is nervous about the gym envir onmen t and is not keen to
lift weights as she thinks this will make her muscles big and she doesn’t want to look like a man. Her biggest priority is to lose
the weight which she gained after having her children; she thinks she is about a stone heavier than she was when she first got
