Case study 2: John

John is 10. His parents are highly concerned with his increased body weight over the
last two years. They have tried to get him to participate in sports, but he would rather
play video games and watch TV.
This is a profile of John’s latest baseline measurements:
• BMI 31
• Blood pressure 138/96
• Weight 60kg
• Resting Heart Rate 85 bpm

The doctor has cleared John for all exercise activities but would like him to start off
slowly because of his current sedentary behaviour.
Both John’s parents want the professional advice of a personal trainer to put together a
program to assist their son.

Task 1
Describe the impact that John’s weight will have on his current fitness level and the implications
that it will have on his adult life if he does not address it now. In your answer, you should discuss
the links between childhood obesity and later development of adult disease.

John’s weight can cause implications in later development, it can potentially cause
diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and some serious diseases childhood
obesity can cause is cardiovascular disease. John’s weight will have current effects on
his fitness levels as he's not active and won't have much cardiovascular endurance,
making him fatigue quicker.

Task 2
Describe why John’s profile is preparing him for the risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease
when he is older.

John’s profile is preparing him for the risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease as his
BMI is sitting at 31, 30 or higher falls within the obesity range, John needs to regularly
follow an exercise program to decrease his BMI to healthy, which is 18.5-24.9

Task 3
Name two motivational factors that John might be required to overcome in his current situation
and what strategy can be put in place so that he can be mentally prepared to participate in
exercise.

Task 4
Using the information contained in the case study, develop a 30 minute cardiovascular and
resistance based exercise program for John. The exercise program should be focused on games
and activities that are fun and that will engage him to participate. Complete the ‘program
delivery’ section of the program to record any information on how the program is to be delivered.
Remember to keep his resistance activities as bodyweight and include flexibility movements. For
body weight exercises the intensity in the program should be noted as ‘BW’ to signify body
weight. For Cardiovascular exercises the intensity in the program should be noted as the
percentage of heart rate max (%HRMax)
