Medium Risk
Men 45 or older, women 55 or older with one risk factor.
High Risk
Individuals with one or more symptoms of cardiovascular, metabolic or pulmonary disease.
Step By Step Screening Process
Step 1: Pre-exercise screening (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire), height, body weight, resting heart rate, blood pressure, etc.
Step 2: Risk Stratification, Medical Screening and Clearance
Step 3: Lifestyle Assessment
Step 4: Data Collection
Step 5: Health Assessment
Step 6: Circumference and skinfolds
Step 7: Postural Assessment
Step 8: Flexibility and balance tests
Step 9: Cardiovascular Testing
Step 10: Muscular Strength and Endurance Testing
Step 11: Data interpretation and evaluation
