Phase 5 of NASM OPT is typically used with which group?

• A. Beginner Clients
• B. Athletes Seeking Power
• C. Children
• D. Older Adults

Answer: (B)

Phase 5 centers on training to develop power, meaning the ability to generate force quickly. It uses high-velocity and explosive movements to improve rate of force development, sprint speed, jumping ability, and overall athletic explosiveness. Because it relies on快速, complex movements and requires a solid strength foundation and proper technique, this phase is typically used with athletes seeking power. It assumes clients have completed earlier phases to build stabilization and strength, and isn’t usually implemented with beginners, young children, or older adults who need more foundational work and lower-risk progressions. When applied with proper progression and supervision, Phase 5 helps athletes translate strength into explosive performance.
