ACSM GEI 5

Question 1

Which term describes the ability of a GEI to anticipate choreography and cue participants BEFORE the movement change occurs?

Accepted Answer

Anticipatory (advance) cueing

Answer

Anticipatory cueing means providing verbal or visual cues several counts before a movement change so participants can transition smoothly.

Question 2

The GEI notices the class is not following the beat of the music. The MOST likely cause is:

Accepted Answer

The music tempo does not match the exercise movement speed

Answer

When music tempo is mismatched to exercise pace, participants cannot synchronize movement to the beat, breaking class cohesion and energy.

Question 3

Which special population requires the GEI to AVOID supine (lying on back) exercises beyond the first trimester?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant participants

Answer

After the first trimester, supine exercise can compress the vena cava, reducing venous return and causing supine hypotensive syndrome in pregnant participants.

Question 4

The 'cooling down' phase of a group exercise class primarily serves to:

Accepted Answer

Gradually decrease heart rate and redistribute blood flow from working muscles

Answer

The cool-down allows a gradual heart rate reduction and prevents blood pooling in the extremities by slowly tapering exercise intensity.

Question 5

A GEI teaching older adults should prioritize which component of fitness to reduce fall risk?

Accepted Answer

Balance, coordination, and functional strength

Answer

Balance, coordination, and functional lower-body strength are the primary fitness components that reduce fall risk in older adults.
