Client Profile: Chris is a high school student and is eager to gain some muscle mass. He eats a diet that consists primarily of processed food (fast foods, cafeteria, etc.). Chris is anxious to get stronger so that he can go out for the wrestling team.
_________________________
While Chris’ eagerness and determination could be very helpful for the attainment of his goals, both his physical and social circumstances must be taken into consideration. Accordingly, these circumstances include his time, vital statistics, and the purpose for this training. All in all, these should be able to provide the client with the best kind of training program that would also be timely and efficient considering that he is looking forward to joining the university’s wrestling team.
The first thing that must be done before planning a fitness program for our client is to determine his vital statistics and other traits that would be essential to monitor improvement. Taking these measures during the initial interview phase is of prime importance since it would provide a baseline measure where the succeeding calculations could be done. Some of the most important things that must be taken includes his height, weight, age, and heart rate, all of which are provided in the table below (Table 1).
Trait

Quantity

Height

5’10” or 1.778m

Weight

120lbs

Age

14

Heart Rate (resting)

206

From this table, the other required measurements could be derived such as the Chris’ Body Mass Index, Basal Metabolic Rate, Maximum Heart Rate, etc. These derived traits could then help in creating a training program that specifically targets his weaknesses and improve on his strengths.
Similarly, the computations for these are provided below:
BMI = [703 x lbs] x / in2
= [703 x 120 lbs]/ [70in]2
17.21 lbs/in2

BMR (Men) =
= 66.47 + (6.24 * weight [lbs]) + (12.7 * size [in]) − (6.8 * age [years])
= 66.47 + (6.24 X 120 lbs) + (12.7 x 70in)- (6.8 x 14)
= 66.47 + 748.8 lbs + 889 in - 95.2
1609.07

Upon examination, the client’s BMI and BMR are 17.21 lbs/in2 and 1609.07, respectively.
Accordingly, Chris is underweight relative to his height. The normal BMI for an American adult 18.5 to 24.9 lbs/in2. However, Chris is only 17.21 lbs/in2, which is below the threshold for a normal BMI. In contrast to this, Chris’ BMR is also under the normal levels for an American male. It could be seen that his BMR is 1609, whereas the normal levels should be about 1,800 instead. Accordingly, while normal levels of BMI and BMR are not directly related to strength, both of these are needed to increase his endurance which is also indispensable for the game of wrestling.
Another thing that must be taken into consideration is the target heart rate (at 60% and 80%) for Chris. In order to do this, we must first derive the maximum heart rate using the formula below.
Maximum HR= 220 – age in years
=220 -14 y/o
= 206

60% Heart Rate
Target HR= 70bpm + (0.6 [ 206-70bpm]
Target HR (60%) = 1...
