When can an instructor prescribe a personal fitness program for a student?

  1. After assessing the individual's fitness level

  2. Only after a finalized curriculum is established

  3. Whenever the instructor deems necessary

  4. After all students have completed a standardized test

The correct answer is: After assessing the individual's fitness level

An instructor can prescribe a personal fitness program for a student after assessing the individual's fitness level. This assessment allows the instructor to understand the student's current capabilities, strengths, and areas for improvement. By evaluating the individual's fitness level, the instructor can create a tailored program that meets the specific needs and goals of the student, ensuring that the prescribed activities are both appropriate and effective for their physical condition. Other options, while they may seem relevant, do not directly address the foundational requirement of assessing the student first. Having a finalized curriculum or waiting for all students to complete a standardized test does not take into account the importance of personalizing fitness programs based on individual assessments. Additionally, prescribing a program simply at the discretion of the instructor, without a proper assessment, may lead to ineffective or even harmful fitness recommendations.
