Direct answer: The training evaluation brings together objective, experience, availability, equipment and relevant history. It guides the prescription and needs to be updated when the routine changes. A questionnaire does not replace clinical evaluation when there are symptoms or conditions that require care.
Informing experience and environment
Report which exercises you know, how long you've been standing still and where you want to train. Photos of the equipment can help when the gym or the space at home has limited options. The chip should fit in this environment and in the time you actually have.
Communicate health history
Report injuries, surgeries, treatments and orientations received from health professionals. Describe symptoms without trying to choose a diagnosis by yourself. Coach needs to know when programming requires integration with doctor or physiotherapist and what limits have already been set.
Update data
Change of work, pregnancy, travel, equipment or health condition can change the plan. The evaluation continues during the follow-up by records and conversation. Keeping the old questionnaire while the routine has changed reduces the quality of the adjustments.
What to record and discuss
- Describe the purpose and history of training.
- Inform relevant conditions and existing clinical guidance.
- Let me know about changes before repeating the plan without adaptation.
