Which of the following is considered objective assessment information?

• A. General health and readiness for physical activity
• B. Personal goals
• C. Perceived exertion
• D. Motivation level

Answer: (A)

Objective assessment information is data that can be observed or measured independently of how the client feels or what they think. General health and readiness for physical activity are examples because they’re verifiable facts about a person’s health status—things like medical conditions, medications, prior injuries, and current capacity—that can be confirmed through records or clinical assessment. The other items—personal goals, perceived exertion, and motivation level—reflect the client’s internal experiences and perceptions, which are subjective. They’re important for tailoring training but aren’t objective measurements.
