Case Study: PAP1 Programming, Anatomy, and Physiology, AIPT Assessment

This case study assignment delves into the core principles of programming, anatomy, and physiology within the context of fitness training. It presents two distinct scenarios, each requiring the design of personalized exercise programs. The first scenario involves creating a circuit-style resistance program for a client aiming to compete in a 10km fun run, considering time constraints and incorporating both machine-based and free-weight exercises. The second scenario focuses on designing a full-body resistance program for a new gym member with limited experience and time, also addressing potential modifications to accommodate time limitations. The assignment includes detailed tables, program templates, and requires identifying muscle actions, adaptations to exercise, and the application of relevant fitness principles. The student is required to design workout programs, modify exercises, and address client concerns, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of exercise prescription and client management. This case study aims to assess the student's ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios in the field of personal training.
