outcome 6.2<br />
Sanjay, a 52-year-old postal worker, has decided to start a training programme on the<br />
advice of the practice nurse at his local surgery. The nurse recommended him to his local<br />
leisure centre on a medical referral scheme. He has been told to train his aerobic<br />
endurance <strong>and</strong> reduce his body fat percentage, which should help him with his lifestyle as<br />
he has been feeling fatigued at work. Further to this, the increase in body fat has reduced<br />
his self-confidence. However, after his induction <strong>and</strong> one training session, Sanjay has not<br />
been to the gym <strong>for</strong> two weeks.<br />
1 Why was it important <strong>for</strong> Sanjay to reduce his body fat percentage?<br />
2 Describe two methods that could have been used to assess his body composition.<br />
3 Provide a list of the possible reasons why Sanjay may have stopped the training<br />
programme.<br />
4 Do you believe that an increase in body fat is purely a physical concern? If not, why<br />
not?<br />
5 What are the possible long-term implications <strong>for</strong> Sanjay?<br />
