  1. A CFP reviews a client's 3-month food diary and finds average protein intake of 0.6 g/kg body weight. For a resistance-training client, this intake is:

    Answer: Below the recommended range

    ACSM recommends 1.2–2.0 g/kg/day for resistance-training individuals; 0.6 g/kg falls well below this range.

  2. A corporate wellness program reports a 22% reduction in employee sick days after a 6-month fitness intervention. To attribute this change to the program, the MOST critical missing element is:

    Answer: A control group for comparison

    Without a control group, confounding variables cannot be ruled out, making causal attribution of the sick-day reduction invalid.

  3. A trainer collects resting metabolic rate (RMR) estimates using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for a 40-year-old male, 80 kg, 178 cm. RMR = (10 × 80) + (6.25 × 178) − (5 × 40) + 5. What is the estimated RMR?

    Answer: 1,716 kcal

    (10×80)+(6.25×178)−(5×40)+5 = 800+1112.5−200+5 = 1,717.5 ≈ 1,716 kcal.

  4. When evaluating a client's progress report, a CFP notices that body weight increased by 2 kg while body fat percentage decreased by 1.5%. The CORRECT interpretation is:

    Answer: Lean mass increased despite overall weight gain

    Decreasing body fat percentage with increasing scale weight indicates lean mass accrual exceeded fat loss, a favorable recomposition outcome.

  5. A CFP is creating an end-of-quarter progress report for 50 clients. Including client names and full assessment data in a shared group summary would violate which principle?

    Answer: Client confidentiality and HIPAA-aligned privacy standards

    Sharing identifiable client health data without consent violates confidentiality and HIPAA-aligned privacy obligations.

  6. A fitness tracker exports step count data with a reported accuracy of ±10%. A client's recorded daily average is 8,500 steps. The true step count likely falls between:

    Answer: 7,650 and 9,350 steps

    ±10% of 8,500 = ±850, so the range is 7,650 to 9,350 steps.

  7. A CFP uses a SOAP note format for client session documentation. The 'A' (Assessment) section should contain:

    Answer: The trainer's professional interpretation of objective and subjective data

    The Assessment section synthesizes the trainer's professional analysis and interpretation of both subjective and objective data collected.
