Declaration: I have read, understand and agree to the assessment tasks and criteria outlined in this document and
agree to complete this assessment in accordance with Australian Fitness Academy’s assessment policy. I declare that
all evidence submitted for this assessment is the product of my own work and every attempt has been made to

Part A:
1. Read the case study profile of the client below.
CLIENT PROFILE
Name: Samina Abbasi Height: 160 cm
Age: 66 years old Weight: 62 kg
Gender: Female BMI: 24.2
Resting HR: 75 bpm Occupation: Retired
Injuries/medical conditions: None
Her daughter has encouraged her to join a gym to help occupy her time, get her out and
about and become more active in the community, as well as strengthen her bones and
joints.
English is Samina’s second language and she speaks in broken English, but she can
understand English very well.
Samina has admitted she can be very lazy and has expressed that she loses interest in
exercise very quickly. Her daughter suggested a circuit format would be a good
introduction to exercise for her.
3. Using the program card template included in this assessment, design an appropriate circuit
exercise program that Samina can complete on her own when she visits the gym.
4. What session frequency would you recommend for Samina? Explain your answer:
3 times week A she is not used to do exercise. So, she will be able to recover easily.
5. Given the cultural practices that Samina has to adhere to when exercising, what advice
would you give her about how to exercise safely in a comfortable environment (eg
hydration, rest periods, time of day to train)?
Drink water before, during and after training sessions. Two days off gym. Training will be held in the
morning non peak hours. Clothing use comfortable cloths that does not go against your believes and
sneakers.
6. Based on the information in Samina’s profile, identify something that may act as a barrier,
preventing her from adhering to the exercise program. Provide examples of how you
would help Samina to overcome the barriers:
She has lack of commitment and interest. I will identify type of exercise that she enjoy. So, I can use
them to make the most of the training .

Part B:
8. Assume 6 weeks has passed since you first instructed Samina through her circuit exercise
program. During a follow up appointment, you learn that Samina has rarely been
attending her exercise sessions due to experiencing pains in her lower back during the
exercise and when bending over at home.
If yes, use the referral template on the following page to contact an appropriate allied
health professional. The referral letter should identify your concerns for the client and
request their guidance prior to participation in an exercise program.

Signature:_______________________________ Date:___________________________________
Thank you for your correspondence regarding Samina’s back pain and her intention to
continue an exercise program with your guidance.
I have assessed Samina’s condition and my preference is to try and alleviate Samina’s lower
back pain through a regular light to moderate physical activity program and some
physiotherapy, rather than commencing her on medication.
Samina can continue with a regular exercise program and will benefit from exercises of low
impact that mobilise her joints (such as walking) and where her spine is supported (such as a
seated bike). I would suggest a resistance circuit that initially includes both upper and
lower body exercises where the back is in a supported position. Samina would also benefit
from performing basic prone back extensions, basic exercises to strengthen her core and
stretches to improve her flexibility.
Please contact me should you require further information and I look forward to receiving
communication about Samina’s progress.
Craig Gowan
Allied Health Professional
In response to the allied health professional’s guidance and instructions above, develop a
revised exercise program that Samina can complete in the gym.
Use the program card template on the following page to document your plan.
10. What would you say to Samina to explain the benefits of regularly participating in the
exercise program, especially in relation to reducing risks associated with ageing? Include
information about the physiological adaptations you would expect to occur.
It could aid to reduce heart disease and high blood pressure. Also, exercise could prevent
diabetes. She might experience body temperature increases. Blood flow redistribution and
oxygenation throughout the body will be better as lungs get stronger.
11. Have the same friend, family member or classmate play the role of the client and conduct a
30-minute program show to instruct the client through the new exercise program. In your
instruction, be sure to explain any precautions for exercise in relation to the client’s injury
and age.
