rationale for conducting pre-activity screening
  • Identify medical conditions
  • Discover the need for a physicians examination
  • Identify the need for a medically supervised
    fitness assessment

risk stratification
  • To stratify means to separate into different
    classes
  • The risk stratification matrix is used to
    determine the appropriate course of action
    regarding exercise testing.
  • It is designed to answer the following questions
  • Do they need a medical examination before
    starting an exercise program?
  • Do they need medical supervision of their GXT?
  • Look at Box 2-1 and 2-2 on pages 18 and 22
