Case Study

 

Meet George

George is a regular client at the gym where you work. George has had their initial fitness testing prior to commencing their training. It was performed by another fitness trainer on George’s day off from work. George came relaxed, prepared, and well-nourished prior to the test. Since then, he has adhered to a training programme and has been dedicated over the last 8 weeks to increasing muscular strength and endurance. His overall goal is to prepare for a 10km run for charity in 16 weeks' time.

George’s initial trainer, that conducted the testing on him, is currently on holiday and asked if you could monitor his progress to ensure they are on track to achieving his goals.

At 8 weeks, you book George in for fitness testing. He has booked in on a Friday evening. When he arrived, he informed you that he had had a busy and stressful work week and had just come back from running around at the grocery store to prepare himself for hosting a dinner party that night. George was hot and flustered when he arrived for testing and complained to you that the room was hot. You apologised for the temperature in the room and explained that the air conditioning was currently out of order. He explained that he hadn’t had much chance to sit and eat a proper meal among all their day’s commitments. He consumed many coffees and snacks throughout the day to get by.

You start performing a bike test on George, and after the test, you take down his RHR. The numbers are then calculated and compared against normative data. After comparing the results, you realise that after 8 weeks of Georges hard work and dedicated training, he hasn’t improved their fitness.

You advise him that something may have gone wrong in the testing, and to return the following week to try again.
