Before beginning an exercise program, the safety of the participant must be ensured by screening for risk factors and/or symptoms of disease. For example, an online questionnaire called the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q), screens an individual’s history of heart disease to identify whether medical clearance is required. Additionally, informed consent is necessary prior to fitness assessment. Various methods quantitatively assess an individual’s health-related physical fitness in advance of an effective exercise program, including resting heart rate and blood pressure. Resting heart rate is the number of times that the heart contracts at rest, in beats per minute (bpm), and describes an individual’s cardiorespiratory fitness. It is typically measured by manual palpation at anatomical landmarks or by using a HR monitor. Blood pressure (BP) is the force that blood exerts against arterial walls during the contraction and relaxation of the heart, measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and indicates the state of the arteries. BP is measured using an indirect auscultation method with a BP cuff. Systolic BP is the maximum pressure produced when the heart contracts and diastolic BP is the minimum pressure when the heart relaxes. A normal healthy resting BP is approximately 120/80 mmHg (systole/diastole).
