ISSA Case Study
CASE STUDY: CHAD EVERMORE
AGE: 55
GENDER: Male
RESTING HEART RATE: 80 bpm
HEIGHT: 6’2”
WEIGHT: 180 lbs
BODY FAT PERCENTAGE: 20%
Chad is an avid golfer. He wishes to improve his golf game and is very motivated to get started on a training program. Chad has exercised regularly for the past 8 years and is in good physical health. Most of his exercise has been aerobic in nature with only a small amount of resistance training. 1. Using the information above, calculate the client's BMI
23.16
2. Calculate the client's BMR.
1865.04
3. Calculate the client's target heart rate at 60% and 80% using the Karvonen formula.
THR @ 60% = 131
THR @ 80% = 148
4. Discuss fitness tests or methods of evaluation that should be used to assess the client, providing rationale for your recommendations. Be sure to address the specific conditions presented by your client.
Evermore: Active, 55 year old male, on the upper end of lean factor 2 bodyscale at 20% bodyfat. Evaluation tests/methods to be used will be those closest related to his sport of choice [golf], as applicable, and his demographic.
CARDIOVASCULAR
Golf is a long game that involves a lot of walking during the course of 18 holes; often carrying the added weight of a golfbag filled with wood and iron clubs (caddy and cart notwithstanding) Run/Walk Test (all ages appropriate)
Step Test (all ages appropriate)
Will provide a good base for measuring progress throughout the program.
STRENGTH
Proper grips, solid stability, calculated explosions of power and controlled swings are at the very foundation of golf.
Upper Body Test (activity level appropriate), Grip Test, Push-ups, Hanging Leg Lifts
FLEXIBILITY
Range of motion being an important factor in many golf movements, swings. We will want to see where he's starting and make sure his ROM remains consistent with his strength and skill improvements during the 12-week training period to avoid injuries (particularly in the spine, shoulders and back
