Which type of exercise is contraindicated for a client with overweight or obesity?

  1. Walking

  2. Jumping

  3. Recumbent cycling

  4. Water exercise

The correct answer is: Jumping

Jumping is often considered contraindicated for clients with overweight or obesity due to the high impact and stress it places on the joints. Clients in this category may already have joint discomfort or reduced mobility, and high-impact exercises like jumping can exacerbate these issues, increasing the risk of injury. In contrast, walking, recumbent cycling, and water exercise are low-impact activities that are generally safe and beneficial for individuals with overweight or obesity. They allow for aerobic conditioning while minimizing the risk to the joints, making them more suitable for developing fitness levels and encouraging regular physical activity without excessive strain.
