Ch 2 Preliminary Health Screening and HR-BP Flashcards
(48 cards)
Why do we do preliminary health screening
determine client readiness for exercise
Detect presence of, or suggestion of, disease
Assess likelihood of unexpected cardiovascular event related to exercise
Protect yourself from litigation

Has a known disease
Is not symptomatic
Do they need medical clearance
Required
Exercise intensity - 2-5.9 METs
Progression gradually as tolerated

Do they need medical clearance
Not necessary
Exercise intensity - 3-6+ METs
Progression gradually 6+ METs OK
Exercises regularly
has known disease
is not symptomatic
Do they need medical clearance
Not necessary for exercise less than 5.9 METs. Required if no change in signs and symptoms in past year for exercise greater than 6 METs

barriers to physical activity
What does a medical history questionnaire help with
identify previous diagnoses and symptoms of disease within the past year
Determine need for medical clearance
