Behavioral Fitness Analyst Interview Questions & Answers:

1. What is bioelectrical impedance?

A way of determining body composition that uses a small electrical current. It is based on the fact that the lean body tissue is more conductive than fat tissue due to its higher water content. The more lean tissue present in the body, the greater the conductive potential, which can be measured in Ohms using special equipment.

2. What is continuous training?

Involves working for a sustained period of time without rest. It improves cardio-vascular fitness. This is the most common type of sustained aerobic exercise for fitness improvement.

3. What is high impact?

Activities involving leaving the ground and landing with impact, placing more stress on the bones and joints. Typically, high impact activities are things like running, step aerobics, basketball, squash or tennis. However it is possible to modify many exercises to make them high or low impact.

4. What is lifestyle activities?

Includes physical actions you perform as part of daily living. Lifestyle activity is generally not planned and occurs as a consequence of working, traveling, raising children, etc. - just plain living! Some lifestyle activities are more strenuous than others and can contribute to sizeable energy expenditure. Examples include taking the stairs instead of using the elevator, walking to do errands instead of driving, getting off a bus one stop early, or parking farther away than usual to walk to a destination.

5. Tell us what is anaerobic exercise?

Short in duration, it is high intensity activity performed without sufficient oxygen to supply the body's need for it at that moment.

6. What is overload Principle?

This principle says that in order to keep making gains from an exercise program, you must find some way to make it more difficult. This is because bodies adapt to exercise. Once your body adapts to a given workload, it will not continue to adapt unless the workload is increased/made more difficult again.

7. What is ketosis?

Metabolic process that occurs when the body does not have enough glucose for energy. Stored fats are broken down, resulting in a build-up of acids called ketones within the body.

8. What is anaerobic Threshold?

The point at which exercise intensity causes lactic acid to accumulate in the muscles faster than it can be cleared away.

9. Explain what Techniques Would You Employ To Increase Your Clientele?

I would be very approachable and likeable. I would always keep a smile on my face and approach clients where I see fit and engage in conversation.

10. What is bone-strengthening activity?

Bone-strengthening activities are designed to promote bone strength by creating an impact or tension force on the bones that promote bone growth and strength. For example, running, jumping, skipping, and lifting weights are bone-strengthening activities.
