Certified Travel Counselor (CTC) Practice Exam

Which of the following describes a way an ACE Certified Personal Trainer can have a positive impact on a child's perception of exercise?

1. Query parents on exercise program design

2. Increase the number of muscular-training exercises

3. Make the activities fun

4. Create a very structured atmosphere

The correct answer is: Make the activities fun

Having an ACE Certified Personal Trainer make activities fun is crucial in shaping a child's perception of exercise positively. When physical activities are enjoyable and engaging, children are more likely to associate exercise with positive feelings and experiences. This playful approach not only encourages participation but also fosters a lifelong interest in staying active. Additionally, when activities are entertaining, it can reduce anxiety or resistance toward exercise that some children might feel, making them more open to trying new things and developing healthy habits. Such a positive experience in early years plays a significant role in encouraging regular physical activity as they grow. In comparison, other options may not emphasize this engaging aspect; querying parents might focus on logistics rather than the child's enjoyment, while increasing the number of muscular-training exercises might not resonate with a child's interests. A very structured atmosphere can sometimes make activities feel like a chore, which may not help in fostering a love for exercise.
