Screening
After the Fitness Center staff receives your completed application, you will be contacted to schedule an Exercise Evaluation,
which consists of the following measurements:
- Body Weight
- Resting and Exercise Pulse Rates
- Resting and Exercise Blood Pressures
- Aerobic Fitness Evaluation
- Determination of Body Composition
- Flexibility Evaluation
Altermative Screening Option
If you do not wish to go through the exercise tolerance test, you
may instead choose to have a Physician’s Consent Form, provided
by the fitness center staff, signed by your personal physician and
returned to the fitness staff to be kept on record.
Consultation and Exercise Presecription
If the exercise tolerance test or the physician’s consent
form reveals that physical exercise would present no significant
risk, a personalized exercise prescription is prepared.
The results of the test are analyzed by the fitness center staff
to determine the type and level of exercise to prescribe. Exercise
techniques are also demonstrated to ensure safe and effective workout
sessions. At this point, you are ready to take part in the
DOT HEALTH EDUCATION AND FITNESS TRAINING PROGRAM.
