Case Study: You are asked to take over an exercise class for older adults. It is held in a community center multipurpose room. The program has had mixed results since starting two years ago. There have been three interruptions of three to five weeks' duration when one instructor left and another was recruited and trained. You have been informed that the most recent instructor was popular and that participants were disappointed by her departure. The program is scheduled to restart in four weeks. It will be held twice a week at 10:00 a.m. There is a meeting held in the same room that ends at 9:30 a.m. on exercise days. You are informed that 12 participants are returning students, and 11 new participants are registered for the same class. No preactivity screening, testing, or evaluation has been conducted in the past.
