Question 2

Which ventilation standard is most critical to maintain in an aerobics studio during high-intensity classes?

Accepted Answer

At least 15 air changes per hour

Answer

High-intensity group exercise spaces require a minimum of 15 air changes per hour to maintain air quality and prevent heat buildup during vigorous activity.

Question 3

Why is it important for an aerobics studio to maintain a room temperature between 65–72°F (18–22°C)?

Accepted Answer

This range helps prevent overheating and heat-related illness during vigorous exercise

Answer

Maintaining 65–72°F reduces the risk of overheating and heat-related illness (heat exhaustion, heat stroke) during high-intensity aerobics.

Question 4

What is the correct way to store resistance bands to extend their lifespan?

Accepted Answer

Rolled tightly and stored in a sealed bag away from direct sunlight and heat

Answer

Resistance bands should be rolled loosely, kept away from sunlight and heat, and stored separately from sharp objects to prevent degradation and breakage.
