Medical Clearance Worksheet

Prior to completing the Medical Clearance Worksheet, review Chapter 2 in the text. Any person wanting to participate in an exercise program should be screened for potential cardiovascular complications that may arise during exercise. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) preparticipation screening algorithm can be used to determine if a person needs medical clearance prior to starting an exercise program. The ACSM algorithm can be viewed in Figure 2.2 of the text. For this assignment, fill out the worksheet on the following:

  • Compare and contrast the function of the human body in someone who has heart disease to someone who does not have heart disease. (Consider what happens within the cardiovascular system when someone has coronary artery disease. Why can this put a person at risk when exercising?)
  • Explain four of the signs and symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal disease.
  • Read each case study on the worksheet and assess the need for medical clearance.
  • Submit the Medical Clearance Worksheet to your instructor by Day 7.

The Medical Clearance Worksheet assignment:

  • Must use the Medical Clearance Worksheet Template.
  • Must include a separate title page with the following:
    • Title of paper
    • Student’s name

Medical Clearance Worksheet
Compare and contrast the function of the human body in someone who has heart disease to
someone who does not have heart disease. (Consider what happens within the
cardiovascular system when someone has coronary artery disease. Why can heart disease
put a person at risk when exercising?) Use scholarly references to support your
comparison.
Functioning of the Body with Heart Disease
Heart disease is mostly associated with problems in the blood vessels supplying blood to
the heart. The condition develops when the coronary arteries that supply nutrients, oxygen, and
blood are diseased or damaged. When the arteries are damaged, the cholesterol compounds are
deposited on the damaged part of the vessels leading to inflammations (Nabel & Braunwald,
2012). The inflammations act as an obstacle to trap blood components. When the deposits build
up within the arteries, the size of the arteries is reduced leading to a decreased level of blood that
flows to the heart. This condition is known as coronary artery disease. If the level of blood flow
continues, the patient experiences shortness of breath, chest pain, or the signs and symptoms
associated with heart disease. If the cholest...
