ISSA Case Study: Clark Kent

Clark has a background in athletics and still young as well, therefore, he is a dream client. He has also committed himself for three months before the start of senior high school football. During the initial consultation, I will explain to him the importance of the three-month commitment to getting him on track. I will also establish my fees, get him signed up and give him questionnaire on his health history and release of liability form at the next meeting. My nutritional strategy would consist of 5 high-calorie days and two low-calorie days. Moreover, depending on is metabolism and mesocycle, I suggest that he follows 1-2-3 or 1-2-4 macro-nutrients ratio. Whereas the higher intensity mesocycles warrant more carbs, the lower intensity one’s will not need as much fuel. I also suggest that Clark gets 160 grams of protein on a daily basis as well as fat from “healthy” fats such as olive oil.

Data collection

As Clark’s professional trainer, I will be tasked with assessing his max presses by using bench press, squat, and deadlift. Primarily, we accomplish this by inquiring Clark himself on how much weight he can do ten reps of with proper form (Fleck, S. J., & Kraemer, 2014). Also, we chart the progress on a weekly basis to monitor the strength and lean body mass Clark is gaining as well as test his cardio and the time it takes him to run one mile. Finally, I will monitor Clark’s nutrition intake and chart out a nice eating schedule based on a new diet so that we know everything that is going into his body. This can be aided by keeping daily food logs for the first few days so that I have a reference point.
