Level 2 Know how to support clients who take part in exercise and physical activityAssessment Workbook

Assessment Information

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).

You must:

• Answer all questions fully, paying close attention to the exact wording. Make sure you provide the number of examples or answers where specifically requested. If questions ask you to ‘describe’ or ‘explain’ then detail is required; if you are asked to ‘list’ or ‘summarise’ a brief answer is acceptable.

• 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 client information 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 medical 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 younger 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 day.

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 environment 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 pregnant. It is Izumi’s husband’s 40th birthday in 6 months time and they are throwing a big party. She wants to lose weight to look glamorous for this event as they are inviting lots of friends and family members they haven’t seen for a long time.

Pete, Izumi’s husband, likes to eat at restaurants and they typically dine out at least twice on a weekend and once during the week. On these occasions they tend to consume 3 course meals with a couple of glasses of wine. Izumi feels it is a combination of this and her tendency to snack when she feeds her children that has lead to her weight gain. Izumi says she generally cooks very healthy meals at home because she wants her son to eat plenty of vegetables, fish, chicken and rice. Izumi doesn’t drink alcohol at home and normally only drinks a few cups of tea during the day.
