Discuss the exercise and fitness needs for clients of varying ages.

Question Description
Assignment Background:
The Exercise Risk Questionnaire (ERQ) and Risk Classification Calculator (RCC) are tools used to determine if exercise is safe and appropriate for a client. For this Assignment, you will conduct both a self-assessment as well as a client assessment using your client, Justin. You will determine both your personal risk status as well as your exercise and fitness needs based on your age and precautions. You will also determine Justin’s personal risk status as well as his exercise and fitness needs based on his age and precautions.
Instructions:
Part 1: Self-Assessment
Complete the ERQ assessment and RCC (see Web Resources in the Reading section). You do not need to include copies of the results in your Assignment. Using your results, discuss whether you answered “yes” on any questions in the ERQ or RCC and if so, which questions? Based on your results, are you considered high, moderate, or low risk? Would you need a physician’s approval before beginning an exercise program? Do you have any precautions or limitations to consider when designing an exercise program?

Next, determine your exercise needs based on your age and precautions. Describe the minimum exercise recommendations per the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans based on your age and cohort. Discuss whether you are currently meeting the recommendations. If yes, provide a detailed discussion about your current exercise program. If you are not meeting the recommendations, discuss how you are falling short and what has prevented you from achieving them in the last 30 days.
Part 2: Client Assessment (Justin)
Read Justin’s biography in Course Documents. Using this information, complete the ERQ assessment and RCC (you do not need to include copies of the results in your Assignment). Based on Justin’s results, discuss whether he answered “yes” on any questions in the ERQ or RCC, and if so, which questions? Based on Justin’s results, is he considered high or low risk? Would the client need a physician’s approval before beginning an exercise program? Does Justin have any precautions or limitations to consider when designing an exercise program for him?
Next, determine Justin’s exercise needs based on his age and precautions. Describe the minimum exercise recommendations per the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans based on the client’s age and cohort. Discuss whether Justin is currently meeting the recommendations. If yes, provide a detailed discussion about his current exercise program. If he is not meeting the recommendations, discuss how he is falling short and what has prevented him from achieving them in the last 30 days.
