Taken this exam 4 times and I tell you that this exact question is stopping me from passing as I could not understand it until now. I take the Scientific Foundations portion next Saturday. Big thanks man!
Glad it was helpful for you. Make sure you check out my practice test before your exam if you have time. It might help you get those last few points to pass. the-movement-system.mykajabi.com/offers/cF2D5UwS
Hi Matt, combining the calculations from both questions would mean that the cross country runner has to get up to 86% (2800 kcal from carbs/ 3256 kcal in total) of his daily calories from carbs which leaves only 14% for protein and fat. Is that realistic?
Hi Matt, just out of curiosity could you make an argument for the activity factor to be 1.7? You mentioned being able to make a case for it to be either 1.8-1.9, but could you make a case for that as well, or is it too low of an activity factor?
I’m not sure of the layout of the exam. You may have to make your best guess if it seems very low activity level maybe 1.2 or if it’s very high maybe choose 1.8

Y’all, the joke at the end really is worth waiting for! 😂

I’m glad you appreciated it🤣

Any video on LTAD and anthropometric measurements.

I struggle with the macro recommendation questions. Increase, Decrease, Maintain. Any tips?
do you get unlimted scratch paper on the exam?
How do we determine the activity factor? Is it given in the question or do we make an accurate guess?
I’m not sure of the layout of the exam. You may have to make your best guess if it seems very low activity level maybe 1.2 or if it’s very high maybe choose 1.8
so activity factor range is from 1.2-1.8?
how do you multiply 59.50 x 22
good content
Do you have a rough estimate on how many CSCS questions involve calculations between nutrition, target heart rates etc etc?
I’m not certain. You could get some idea of that distribution looking at the NSCS CSCS Detailed Content Outline
where did you get the 100% in calculation for lean body mass?
Everyone has a certain % fat mass such as 20% and a certain % lean mass such as 80%. The total between the two is always 100%
P.S. Watch to the end for a joke lol
🔥
I really hate how we cant use a calculator during the exam. I'm getting math nightmares all over again lol.
its laughable. Especially given the fact s&c coaches scope of practice doesnt include this in depth of nutrition knowledge.
