In the context of informed consent, which of the following is considered a key component?

Expected benefits and outcomes
Participant's favorite activities
Personal motivations for participation
History of previous exercise

The correct answer is: Expected benefits and outcomes

Informed consent in the context of personal training and exercise programs is fundamentally about ensuring that participants are fully aware of what they are agreeing to, including the potential risks and benefits associated with their participation. A key component of this process is clearly communicating the expected benefits and outcomes of the exercise program. Participants need to understand how the program can positively impact their health, fitness levels, and overall well-being. This transparency helps individuals make educated decisions regarding their involvement and allows them to assess whether the potential benefits align with their personal health goals. While personal motivations, favorite activities, and a history of previous exercise are relevant to understanding the participant's background and preferences, they do not constitute the essential elements of informed consent. Informed consent focuses primarily on the information needed to ensure participants are aware and agreeable to the nature of the program they are joining, making the expected benefits and outcomes a critical area of focus.
