During participant assessments, the group fitness leader is responsible for all of the following except:

The role of a group fitness leader during participant assessments includes several key responsibilities aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals in their programs. One of those responsibilities is to encourage the use of informed consent, which helps participants understand the nature of the activities and any associated risks. Additionally, fitness leaders must instruct participants with one or more 'yes' responses on the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) to consult with their physician before proceeding with any fitness program. Administering the PAR-Q itself is also part of the fitness leader's duties, as it's an essential tool for identifying any potential health concerns before starting physical activity.

However, discussing in detail why a participant answered 'yes' on the PAR-Q is not typically the responsibility of the fitness leader. While a fitness leader can provide general guidance and support, the detailed evaluation of an individual's health responses on the PAR-Q often requires professional expertise beyond the scope of fitness leadership. Therefore, this aspect of addressing health concerns should be conducted by a qualified healthcare professional who can provide comprehensive insight into the participant’s health conditions and risks.
