Aerobics Trainer Class Instruction & Choreography Flashcards

Which cueing method gives participants advance notice of an upcoming movement change?

Answer: Anticipatory cueing

Anticipatory cueing prepares participants for transitions before they occur, reducing confusion and injury risk.

When using the 'add-on' choreography method, how are movement combinations built?

Answer: One move at a time is added to a growing sequence

The add-on method introduces movements one at a time, combining each new element with previously learned moves.

What does a 32-count music phrase typically consist of in aerobics choreography?

Answer: Both A and B

A 32-count phrase can be understood as 4 sets of 8 counts or 2 sets of 16 counts, both are correct representations.

A participant with knee pain should be directed toward which movement modification during high-impact aerobics?

Answer: Replace jumps with marching or stepping

Replacing high-impact jumps with marching or stepping eliminates ground reaction forces that stress the knee joint.

Which principle should guide the sequencing of choreography in a group aerobics class?

Answer: Simple to complex progression

Simple-to-complex progression ensures participants master foundational movements before learning more challenging combinations.

What is the purpose of a 'base move' in aerobics choreography?

Answer: It is a neutral, easy movement used as a transition or rest point

A base move, such as marching in place, gives participants a familiar movement to return to during transitions or when learning new steps.

During class instruction, how should a certified aerobics trainer position themselves relative to participants?

Answer: Vary position to monitor all participants and provide visibility

Varying position allows the instructor to observe all participants for safety, provide visual cues, and maintain class energy.
