Charting for SuccessCharting for Success pulls together dozens of concepts and topics under one cover. Its purpose is to act as a quick reference guide of the various steps to be taken in different instances and situations. With the ever-growing complexities involved in the business of being a fitness practitioner, it often is difficult to remember all that should be done, the role of each aspect in the grand scheme of things, and why certain things should be considered. With 70 charts in total, plus a two-page overview spread of the entire 'system,' Charting for Success has covered every fundamental step that involves interviewing, assessment, exercise, nutrition, and sport psychology. Some topics include:

  • Determining client goals and direction.
  • Completion of forms and an initial physical assessment.
  • Distinguishing between typical and unique aspects of a client.
  • Determining appropriate intensity of effort.
  • Response-to-exercise testing.
  • Determining the load of a set.
  • Resistance training exercise suitability.
  • Exercise stress physiology and recovery limitations.
  • Assessing exercise technique.
  • Selecting the right activities and measures for a warm-up.
  • Using range-of-motion to target specific needs and goals.
  • Cycling changes within a plan of action.
  • Implementing the scientific method in a fitness setting.
  • Treating overuse injuries.
  • Risk management and accountability.
  • Sport psychology data collection.
  • Conducting a nutrition analysis.
  • And dozens more!

Charting for Success is the Ultimate Practical Tool!

These charts can be used as a teaching guide, for quick reference, and as a tool to make certain all the necessary steps in a procedure are conducted or that the steps within a concept are understood. This 160-page hardcover text includes in-field tables that quickly allow a fitness practitioner to collect data and develop notes relative to a particular aspect of fitness prescription. This information then can be transferred to a formal report. In-field tables include blank templates:

  • Potential client interview.
  • Established client interview.
  • Goal development.
  • Individual specificity.
  • Interrogation and assessment overview.
  • Equipment and testing.
  • Assessment problem solving.
  • Pattern prediction.
  • Exercise, nutrition, and sport psychology principle considerations.
  • Exercise technique teaching and assessment.
  • Warm-up and cool-down requirements.
  • Exercise movement and equipment selections.
  • Balanced training (and special muscle emphasis).
  • A need for change table.
  • Case study monitoring form.
  • Information skills process (for researching client specifics and problems).
  • A chart for making monthly comparisons (anthropometrics, blood work, exercise performance, nutrition ratios, muscle strength, and joint range of motion).
