Importance of Medical History
The Medical History questionnaire is designed to identify if the client has any pre-existing injuries
or ailments that should be brought to the attention of the tester. It is also used to identify if the
client is taking medications such as beta-blockers, vasodilators or diuretics that may affect the
normal physiologic responses during exercise. It is recommended that the dosage of medication
is recorded along with a physician's contact number. The medical history provides important
information to assist the tester and safeguard the client during testing.
