Respuesta :

Answer: C

Explanation:

Personal Trainers

Personal trainers evaluate a person’s fitness level and then come up with an exercise regimen to improve the individual’s health, weight, and even nutrition

Athletic Trainers

Athletic trainers, on the other hand, are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Athletic trainers work under the direction of a physician as prescribed by state licensure statutes. The NATA Code of Ethics states the principles of ethical behavior that should be followed in the practice of athletic training.
