module 8 : purpose driven training model

Vocabulary flashcards covering key terms, definitions, and concepts from Chapter 14 of the ISSA Certified Personal Trainer course.

Purpose-Driven Training Model (PDTM)

A framework designed to gather client information to select appropriate exercises and training variables, creating a safe, individualized program aligned with the client's needs, wants, and goals.

PPS

An acronym standing for Purpose, Preference, and Status, which serves as the foundation for designing a client's exercise program.

Rapport Building

Creating the foundation for a professional relationship built on trust, open communication, empathy, and understanding.

General Health Goal Category

A client goal category where the individual primary objective is to move better, feel better, and/or look better.

Muscle Gain Goal Category

A client goal category focused specifically on building muscle size.

Weight Loss Goal Category

A client goal category focused on achieving and maintaining body fat loss.

Performance Goal Category

A client goal category focused on building strength and performance for a task, sport, or event.

Movement Readiness

The determination of whether a client can safely and efficiently execute fundamental movement patterns prior to progressing with load, speed, or complexity.

Core Exercises

Exercises that help to train the muscles of the pelvis, lower back, hips, and abdomen.

Isolation Exercises

Typically single-joint movements used to add stress to specific areas of the body to promote hypertrophy.

Activation Exercises

Typically low-intensity exercises used as a specific warm-up or part of a corrective exercise routine to improve muscular imbalances.

Locomotion

Movement or the ability to move from one place to another using the limbs.

Postural Control

The ability to maintain a neutral spine and minimal movement of the pelvis and head while performing an exercise.

Muscular Endurance

The training goal defined as the ability of a muscle or muscles to repeatedly contract against resistance.

Hypertrophy

The training goal defined as an increase in muscle size.

Strength

The training goal defined as the amount of force a muscle can exert.

Power

The training goal defined as the greatest amount of force a muscle can produce in the shortest amount of time.

Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands (SAID)

A training principle stating that specific acute variables and modifiers dictate the stress placed on the body, driving specific neuromuscular and hormonal adaptations.

Estimated Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)

An objective metric used to determine cardiorespiratory intensity, estimated using the formula $\text{MHR} = 220 - \text{age}$.

Zone 1 Cardio (Low-Intensity)

Cardiovascular exercise performed at $50$ to $70$ percent of MHR, corresponding subjectively to an RPE of 3 to 4.

Zone 2 Cardio (Moderate-Intensity)

Cardiovascular exercise performed at $70$ to $80$ percent of MHR, corresponding subjectively to an RPE of 5 to 6.

Zone 3 Cardio (High-Intensity)

Cardiovascular exercise performed at $80$ to $90$ percent of MHR, corresponding subjectively to an RPE of 7 to 8.

Zone 4 Cardio (Maximum-Intensity)

Cardiovascular exercise performed at $90$ to $100$ percent of MHR, corresponding subjectively to an RPE of 9 to 10.
