NETA Personal Trainer Practice Exam

Which of the following should NOT be included in the objective of a training session?

1. Measurements obtained during the session

2. Exercises performed by the participants

3. Fitness assessments conducted prior to the session

4. Data collected on the client's progress during the session

The correct answer is: Fitness assessments conducted prior to the session

The objective of a training session typically focuses on the goals and outcomes that will be addressed during that specific session. Including measurements, exercises performed, and data collected on the client's progress during the session directly relates to the immediate objectives and activities that participants will engage in. In contrast, fitness assessments conducted prior to the session are not typically included in the objective for that specific training session. These assessments provide baseline data and insights into an individual’s fitness level before the training begins, but they do not pertain to the goals or outcomes that will be addressed in the current session. The focus of the objective should be on what is going to happen during the session itself rather than on past evaluations that inform long-term progress.
