  1. Case Study Bob is a 36 year old male (70 kg) who is interested in starting a musculoskeletal fitness training program. At present, he does not do any strength training but performs a fair amount of physical labour in his job as a construction worker. Bob completed a single-stage bench press and leg press test using a Universal machine. Results are below. CSEP-CPT Musculoskeletal Fitness Case Study

  2. Task • Calculate his predicted 1-RM for bench press and leg press. • State how you would explain the results to Bob. • Determine the exercise intensity for Week 1 of Bob’s program • Determine the starting weight that is equivalent to the prescribed exercise intensity for the bench press and leg press exercise. • List the resistance training exercises (in the correct order) that you would have Bob perform CSEP-CPT Musculoskeletal Fitness Case Study

  3. Calculate Predicted 1-RM • determine %1-RM from # of reps completed • divide weight lifted by % 1-RM • EXAMPLE: • Bench Press: Client performed 10 repetitions of 90 lbs • 10 repetitions = 75% 1-RM • 1-RM = 90 lbs lifted/0.75 • 1-RM = 120 lbs • Leg Press: Client performed 4 repetitions of 240 lbs • 4 repetitions = 90% 1-RM • 1-RM = 240 lbs lifted/0.90 • 1-RM = 267 lbs CSEP-CPT Musculoskeletal Fitness Case Study

  4. Explain Results • Your predicted 1-RM represents your muscular strength, or the maximum force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single contraction. • The benefits of increasing muscular strength are unrestricted ability to perform daily activities, ability to cope with emergencies, reduced injuries and disabilities, healthy aging and maintenance of functional independence, and a healthy back. • Compared to other males of a similar age range your predicted 1-RM of 120 lbs for bench press places you in the ‘average’ category while your predicted 1-RM of 267 lbs for leg press also places you in the ‘average’ category.

  5. Exercise Intensity for Week 1 CSEP-CPT Musculoskeletal Fitness Case Study

  6. Design a 4 week program for Bob • Client goals are to improve musculoskeletal fitness. • Considerations: • Works Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm with a 30 min lunch break. Drives to work.. • Lives close to a recreational facility with a weight room. • Design a 4 week musculoskeletal fitness program following the CSEP-CPT prescription card in the back of the CPT manual. • SMART principles: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timed CSEP-CPT Musculoskeletal Fitness Case Study
