Show answer and explanations
Answer
C
ACE IFT is client-centered: progression follows the client's goals and demonstrated readiness on reassessment, not a universal calendar.
A
A fixed block length is the same calendar logic the stem describes; some clients need longer and others are ready sooner.
B
Repetitions completed with compensation show the client is not yet ready for more demand.
D
Attendance shows consistency but not whether movement quality or fitness has improved enough to progress.
