Document Summary

Meaning 90% of people over the age of 40 were being referred for medical testing before starting a new exercise program/before progressing their exercise problem. The new evidence says that a. there"s a positive relationship between disease or signs and symptoms (ssx) and sudden cardiac death or acute mi (heart attack) We know people with cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease (diabetes) or renal disease (kidney) b. c. Negative relationship between habitual physical activity and sudden cardiac death or acute mi. What they used to consider as a factor when trying to predict cardiac death or acute mi was risk factors (high blood pressure, etc. ) We now no longer consider risk factors. Know this for the final - 3 cases with an individual. Definition: are they doing structured planned at least moderate intensity for 30 minutes 3 days a week for the last 3 months. If they"ve been told they have a disease then they check this box.
