Following medical clearance, light to moderate intensity exercise is recommended. May gradually progress as tolerated following ACSM guidelines. - ANSWER After a medical clearance for an inactive person who either has known CV/metabolic/renal disease and is asymptomatic, or an individual who has any signs or symptoms of CV/metabolic/renal disease, regardless of disease status, how should that individual be progressed in an exercise program? NO - ANSWER Does an individual need medical clearance who is not diagnosed with CV, metabolic or renal disease, and shows no symptoms of the above? No medical clearance is needed before beginning an exercise program. It is recommended to start with light to moderate exercise and gradually progress to vigorous intensity exercise, following ACSM guidelines. - ANSWER How would a trainer progress an individual with no diagnosis or signs or symptoms of CV, metabolic or renal disease? The client should discontinue exercise immediately and obtain medical clearance before continuing exercise at any intensity - ANSWER If a patient is already exercising regularly, but has signs or symptoms of CV, metabolic or renal disease, regardless of diagnosis or not, should the client continue exercising? They may continue moderate intensity exercise without medical clearance, but if they want to progress to vigorous intensity exercise it is recommended to get medical clearance first. - ANSWER If a patient has a known history of CV, metabolic or renal disease, but no current signs or symptoms (ie they are stable), should this patient continue exercising? True - ANSWER T/F a client would be classified as low risk who has absence of ventricular dysrhymias during exercise testing and recovery, absence of angina or other significant symptoms such as shortness of breath, light-headedness, or dizziness during exercise testing and recovery, and has presence of normal hemodynamics such as appropriate increases and decreases in HR and SBP during exercise testing and recovery
