AFAA Personal Trainer Certification Practice Exam

Which factor is NOT typically assessed during a fitness assessment?

1. Cardiovascular fitness

2. Muscle strength

3. Psychological resilience

4. Body composition

The correct answer is: Psychological resilience

During a fitness assessment, factors such as cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and body composition are typically evaluated to provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual's physical capabilities and health status. These assessments help to establish a baseline, identify strengths and weaknesses, and inform the development of personalized training programs. Psychological resilience, however, is not a standard component of physical fitness assessments. While mental health and motivation certainly play crucial roles in overall fitness and exercise adherence, assessing psychological resilience typically falls outside the scope of physical evaluations. Instead, it may be considered in a more holistic approach to wellness, but it is not measured through the conventional assessments used to determine physical fitness levels.
