SISFFIT020: Observation and Case Study on Exercise Programs

This assignment, completed by Nhi Man Huynh, is a practical assessment for the SISFFIT020 unit, focusing on instructing exercise programs for body composition goals. The assignment is divided into three parts: Part A involves creating detailed client profiles for five clients with differing body composition needs, incorporating personal details, medical history, AHP tools, and SMART goals. Part B requires the documentation of a practical session, including a warm-up plan, for one of the clients. Part C involves a review and feedback section of the practical session. The student is assessed on their ability to identify client requirements, develop personalized exercise plans, implement the plan through instruction, and evaluate the program's effectiveness. The assignment emphasizes the integration of motivational techniques, monitoring of client progress, and program modification based on evaluation.

Practical session plan template
Warm-up (3 marks)
Goal Notes
To feel warm and energized
One should always participate in a warm-up before starting the
main exercise. In this light, a dynamic warm-up is able to signals
to an individual’s nervous system that it should be ready to
prime the body. This means that one is in a position of getting
the cardiovascular system as firing and working as possible
especially on the entire mobility (Westergren, Gan, Månsson, &
Svedlund, 2018). During this process, one’s body should start to
feel warm quickly once on is set moving. The overall aim of the
warm-up is to ensure that the body is set ready for a training
routine. While it is important to feel “warmed up”, in case the
warm-up is becoming tiring, then one should know that he or she
is pushing too hard.
To make the joints to feel more
mobile
Although taking 15 minutes for a warm-up is not necessarily
enough to make drastic changes to an individual’s flexibility,
one should be in a position to feel as if he or she can move in a
comfortable manner.
To be in a ‘workout mode’ In essence, it is important to note that exercising is not all about
an individual’s body; it also encompasses what is happening in
the mind of a person. In this light, one should be in a position to
feel mentally ready to be able to tackle his or her own workout.
Additionally, one should be in a position to feel excited to be
able to push oneself through such a tough leg day (Sicilia,
Alcaraz-Ibáñez, Lirola, & Burgueño, 2017). One should take the
warm-up as a pre-game for the intended workout. This is
because it is just a few minutes that one is focused on how their
body is feeling like as well as noting in case there are any sign of
soreness or rather discomforts.
While this might sound a lot especially to cross off an
individual’s full list of things every day, the warm-up is as
important as the workout itself. Getting one warmed-up helps in
pushing harder during the workout. In case one is already

warmed up, it should be easier the first exercise as well. At this
point, one already knows what a good warm-up looks like and,
therefore, one can be in a position to get it done at the beginning
of every training session.

This is a good way of working out
the back. To accomplish this
exercise, make sure that the single
handle is well connected to the main
cable pulley. In case the machine
contains leg pads, make sure that
they are well adjusted as required
(Ranasinghe, 2018). In this case,
take a grasp of the handle and sit
down with while extending one of
the arms. One has to make sure that
he or she keeps an erect posture
while allowing the cable to rise to
the starting point. One should make
sure that the speed of the weight is in
a control position while going up
(Mailey, Dlugonski, Hsu, & Segar,
2018). To allow the elbow to extend,
one should make sure to stop the
momentum of the weight. This
process should be repeated in both
arms.

This exercise is not too far from
what is called the forward lunge. The
main difference in this exercise is
that one holds his or her position.
For one to undertake this exercise
one should make sure that he or she
steps forward with a single leg while
the other one helping to move to the
knee. At the same time make sure
that the upper body is aligned while
the abs are well contracted (Lacy &
Williams, 2018). One should try to
hold this particular position for close
to 30 seconds and then turn to the

other side and repeat the same
process while doing at least 12 reps.
In this light, one is supposed to stand
with his or her one foot forward
while keeping the other back rather
than stepping forward to perform the
lunge. At this point, one should be in
a position to make a triangle with his
or her legs. Additionally, one should
make sure that he or she has lower
the rear leg until the knee almost
touches the floor while maintaining
the bending position of the front leg.
This has to be done without moving
the legs. Notably, this process is
repeated with the other leg as well. If
need be one should hold on to a
support or rather a chair to reduce
the overall intensity of the performed
exercise. In case there is a need for a
harder workout, one has to hold onto
the dumbbells at either side. The
exercise is repeated 12 to 20 times.

To perform this exercise, one has to
position the body so that the arm is
directly underneath the shoulder.
Once an individual is comfortable in
the position, make sure that the
elbows are tucked into face the
thighs. At this point, one may use a
rule on the spine to gain an
additional feedback. Additionally,
one should obtain a hand width
space particular in the small of the
back (Miller, Mull, Aragon, Krieger,
& Schoenfeld, 2018). The mid-back,
as well as the back of the head,
should be placed in alignment with
the stick the entire time. Lift the arm
as well as the legs while the
maintaining the horizontal as well as
activity level. Tighten the lower
tummy in a slow and gentle manner
(Ring & Kavussanu, 2018). In this
light, the weight is transferred to the
limbs that one arm is not going to be
lifted and raised up to a horizontal
position. One should make sure that
they lift as high as possible to
maintain a perfect form as well as
