Document Summary
Allied healthcare continuum: health professionals who are credentialed through certifications, registrations, and/or licensure and provide services to identify, prevent and treat diseases and disorders. Health-risk appraisal: increased risk for those who are unhealthy, have an existing disease, and at risk for a disease while performing moderate levels of physical activity. Pre-participation screening should include identifying if there is any disease, signs/symptoms of disease, medical contraindications, medical evaluations: those with medical conditions should participate in medically supervised programs. Physical activity readiness questionnaire (par-q): minimal, safe pre-exercise screening measure for low to moderate training levels: limited by lack of detail and may overlook important health conditions, medications, and past injuries. Risk stratification: determines the presence or absence of any known diseases and risk factors on a low, medium and high scale. Evaluation forms: informed consent, agreement and release of liability, health history questionnaire, exercise history and attitude questionnaire, medical release, testing forms. Set goals, generate/discuss alternatives, form plan, evaluate the exercise program.
