Clinical guidelines on exercise testing

Clinical guidelines on exercise testing provide evidence-based recommendations for safely assessing a person's cardiovascular and physical fitness. These guidelines detail when and how tests like treadmill or cycling exercises should be performed, often to diagnose heart or lung conditions, evaluate functional capacity, or guide treatment. They include criteria for preparing patients, selecting appropriate tests, and monitoring responses to ensure safety and accuracy. Following these standards helps healthcare providers accurately interpret results, identify health risks, and develop personalized exercise or treatment plans, promoting safe and effective assessments in clinical practice.
