Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit in the context of the job role, and:

use industry endorsed pre-exercise screening tools and risk stratification processes to identify the risk level of at least ten clients across the following specific population groups:

children and adolescents

women

older adults

clients with a disability

culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) groups

prepare referral letters to relevant medical or appropriate allied health professionals with supporting pre-exercise health screening documentation for a client from each specific population group

plan, document, implement and evaluate suitable exercise programs within scope of practice for specific population clients:

five clients that don’t require guidance or instruction provided by medical or allied health professionals

five clients in response to guidance or instruction provided by medical or allied health professionals

conduct sessions that incorporate:

appropriate selection and monitoring of a range of gym-based cardiovascular and resistance equipment, according to industry guidelines

demonstration, explanation, and instruction of exercises

injury prevention strategies specific to client needs and program

suitable order and sequence of activities

session components that target the needs and goals of the individual

suitable duration, intensity, volume

ongoing clear and constructive feedback to clients and, where required, medical or allied health professionals

use of evidence based exercise adherence strategies specific to the population groups

modify programs for clients, addressing at least three of the following:

technical requirements

changing needs due to fitness adaptations

changing goals

client needs, objectives, likes and dislikes

technical difficulty adjustments of exercises

medical or allied health professional feedback

conduct periodic ongoing evaluation of outcomes from fitness programs in accordance with the established program goals and industry best practice.

Demonstrated knowledge required to complete the tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit:

legislative and regulatory requirements regarding specific population exercise participation:

child protection

privacy

anti-discrimination

work health and safety/occupational health and safety

duty of care

organisational policies and procedures in regards to specific population exercise participation:

industry endorsed risk management protocols, exercise implications and referral requirements

overcrowding

ventilation and/or climate control

hygiene

emergency

standards of personal presentation

participant’s clothing and footwear

use, care and maintenance of equipment

industry endorsed client pre-exercise screening processes

industry endorsed risk stratification procedures, exercise implications and referral requirements for:

low-risk clients

moderate risk clients

higher risk clients

when there are extreme or multiple risk factors present and professional judgement to decide whether further medical advice is required identification of clients at high or higher risk of an adverse event occurring during exercise

physical activity and exercise intensity and frequency guidelines

precautions to exercise relevant to the specific population in accordance with industry guidelines where applicable

benefits versus risk of participation

situations where cessation of exercise program is required, this may include but is not limited to:

chest pain at rest or during activity

severe breathlessness/feeling faint/dizziness/loss of balance

unusual fatigue or shortness of breath

asthma aggravation/attack

significant muscle, bone or joint pain (beyond what is normally expected during exercise)

a situation whereby the fitness professional makes a judgement that continuing the session is beyond their professional capabilities and scope of practice, and could potentially compromise client health and safety

signs and symptoms of poor exercise tolerance or unstable condition

role of medical or allied health professionals for referral processes:

accredited exercise physiologist

accredited practising dietician

chiropractor

continence nurse advisor

general practitioner

occupational therapist

osteopath

physiotherapist

podiatrist

psychologist

remedial massage therapist

sports doctor

sports physician

typical anatomical and physiological considerations for the following specific population groups:

children

women

older adults

clients with a disability

CALD groups

appropriate management for signs and symptoms of intolerance or an unstable condition:

cease or modify exercise

refer to a medical or allied health professional

call an ambulance if required

potential or actual effect of the condition on exercise behaviour

exercise adherence strategies.
