Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
Why does correct technique matter for safety in a leisure centre gym?
Model answer
Correct technique keeps joints aligned and loads on the intended muscles. Poor technique puts stress on the back and joints and causes injury.
- 2
How should gym staff help customers use correct technique?
Model answer
Staff should demonstrate each exercise, watch the customer try it and correct faults. Written or video guides can reinforce the teaching.
- 3
Why is gradual progression important for leisure customers?
Model answer
Gradual progression lets the body adapt safely to increasing demands. A sudden jump in load or intensity raises the risk of strain and overuse injury.
- 4
How can a fitness instructor progress a new gym member safely?
Model answer
The instructor raises one factor at a time, such as weight or duration, by a small amount. Progress is reviewed at regular check-ins.
- 5
Why are rest and recovery part of safe practice?
Model answer
Rest lets muscles repair and energy stores refill between sessions. Too little rest leads to fatigue, poor technique and injury.
- 6
What is overtraining?
Model answer
Overtraining is training too hard or too often without enough recovery. Signs include constant fatigue, falling performance and frequent illness.
