Clinical Guidelines for Exercise Testing

Clinical guidelines for exercise testing are recommendations that healthcare professionals follow to safely evaluate an individual's physical fitness and heart health. These tests help identify possible health risks, diagnose heart or lung conditions, and guide exercise prescriptions. The guidelines specify when tests are appropriate, how they should be conducted, and safety measures to protect participants. They ensure the tests are accurate, consistent, and performed responsibly to provide useful information about a person's cardiovascular and respiratory function. Overall, they support safe and effective assessment of physical health through controlled exercise testing.
