The IC should be verbally described, and the individual be given every chance to
ask questions before signing
Shortness of breath (Dyspnea)

signatures:
both patient and physician signs
Prolonged periods of sitting or sedentary behavior are associated with
deleterious health consequences independent of PA levels.
Regardless, high levels of sedentary behavior can be
detrimental to ones health
Although resistance training is growing in popularity, current evidence is insufficient regarding CV complications during resistance training to warrant
formal prescreening recommendations.
vigorous intensity exercise
greater than or equal to 60% HRR (heart rate reserve) or VO2R, an intensity that causes substantial increases in HR and breathing
The recommendations are intended to reduce or remove barriers to adopting and maintaining
habitual PA or exercise.
Although the benefits of regular PA are well established, participation in exercise is associated with an increased risk for
musculoskeletal injury (MSI) and cardiovascular complications such as sudden cardiac death (SCD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
The ACSM preparticipation and pre-exercise screening emphasize the
public health message of PA for all.
Medical history and CV risk factor analysis are not part of the preparticipation health screening procedures for the purpose of
reducing acute risk
Exercise Preparticipation Health Screening Recommendations are not a
replacement for sound clinical judgment and decisions about referrals to a health care provider for medical clearance
The IC should ensure that individuals know and understand the purpose(s) and risks associated with
screening, assessment, and the exercise program.
If the presence or absence of a CVD risk factor is not disclosed or is not available,
that CVD risk factor should be counted as a risk factor.
Pain or discomfort in the chest, neck, jaw, arms or other areas (angina)
that may result from ischemia (cardinal manifestation of cardiac disease)
MSI is the most common exercise-related complication and is often associated with exercise intensity,
the nature of the activity, preexisting conditions, and musculoskeletal anomalies
medical clearance
Self-guided screenings can be an acceptable substitute for this method.
Ankle edema
bilateral edema predictive of heart failure
Palpitations or tachycardia
unpleasant awareness of forceful or rapid beating of the heart
Obtaining informed consent (IC) from individuals is an important ethical and legal consideration and should be completed prior to
(a) the collection of any personal and confidential information (b) any form of fitness testing (c) exercise participation
Dizziness or syncope
(loss of consciousness)
Quantification of leisure time PA has grown and utilizes a variety of methodologies
- Self-report methods: NHANES, BRFSS, etc. - Objective methods: pedometers, accelerometers, etc.
Preparticipation health screening before initiating PA or an exercise program is a two-stage process:
1. The need for medical clearance before initiating or progressing exercise programming is determined using the ACSM screening algorithm 2. If indicated during screening, medical clearance should be sought from an appropriate health care provider.
light intensity exercise
30-39% HRR (heart rate reserve) or VO2R, an intensity that causes slight increases in HR and breathing
Self-report NHANES data indicate
4.7 h · d−1 of sitting time.
moderate intensity exercise
40-59% HRR (heart rate reserve) or VO2R, an intensity that causes noticeable increases in HR and breathing
In the US: ______ of adults meet aerobic activity guidelines. ______ meet muscle strengthening guidelines. _______ meet both the aerobic and muscle strengthening guidelines.
50.9%, 30.4%, 20.5%

The ACSM preparticipation screening algorithm is designed to identify individuals at risk for
CV complications during or immediately after aerobic exercise

PND and Orthopnea are symptoms of left ventricular dysfunction
Atherosclerotic CVD Risk Factors blood pressure
SBP 130 mmHg and/or DBP 80 mmHg , based on an average of 2 readings obtained on 2 occasions, or on antihypertensive medication
ACSM no longer recommends the inclusion of exercise testing for medical clearance:
That decision is left to the qualified health care provider.
medical clearance should be sought from an appropriate health care provider
The manner of clearance should be determined by the clinical judgment and discretion of the health care provider.
freedom of consent:
This is a voluntary process which means they can withdraw at any time
metabolic disease
Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
renal disease
Undefined by ACSM
Major Signs or Symptoms Suggestive of Cardiovascular, Metabolic, and Renal Disease
Unusual fatigue or shortness of breath with usual activities
Care needs to be taken to interpret signs or symptoms within context of individuals recent history:
What were you doing during these periods? Were you more breathless than you would have expected for this activity? Compared to recent similar activities, were you more fatigued following the activity?
Identify individuals who are at risk for adverse exercise-related CV events:
a) who should receive medical clearance before initiating a moderate to vigorous intensity exercise program or increasing the intensity of their current program b) with clinically significant disease(s) who may benefit from participating in a medically supervised exercise program c) with medical conditions that may require exclusion from exercise programs until those conditions are abated or better controlled
These recommendations also acknowledge that vigorous exercise is associated with a small but measurable acute risk of
activity-associated SCD and AMI and those with with underlying CVD who perform unaccustomed vigorous PA are at highest risk.
This recommendation better aligns with evidence that exercise testing is a poor predictor of
acute cardiac events in asymptomatic individuals.
The preparticipation health screening identifies those who are at risk for
adverse exercise-related CV events and which individuals should be referred for medical clearance.
CVD risk factor assessment information for the development of an individuals Ex Rx, lifestyle modification, and
an opportunity for one-on-one education about CVD risk reduction.
physical activity
any bodily movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles that results in a substantial increase in caloric requirements over resting energy expenditure
Medical and CV screening may also uncover a need for other
health or medical referrals
Individuals with Pulmonary disease are not automatically referred for medical clearance because pulmonary disease does not
increase the risk of nonfatal or fatal CV complications
SCD and AMI are associated with vigorous intensity and are much less common than MSI but
may lead to long-term morbidity and mortality.
Highest risk is associated with activities that are weight-bearing or involve repetitive motion:
jogging, walking, cycling, weightlifting, etc.
Although the content and extent of consent forms may vary, enough information must be present in the informed consent process to ensure that the participant
knows and understands the purposes and risks associated with the test or exercise program in health/fitness or clinical settings.
However, medical and CV screening provides valuable information for designing individualized exercise programs to
lower or reduce known health risks.
Known heart murmur
may indicate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death
For individuals having HDL-C ≥ to 60 mg/dL,
one CVD risk factor is subtracted from the sum of positive CVD risk factors
Intermittent claudication
pain that occurs in the lower extremities due to inadequate blood flow during activity
Insufficient evidence is available to suggest that the presence of CVD risk factors without
underlying disease confers substantial risk of adverse exercise-related CV events.
