Exercise Assessment
Exercise assessment is the process of gathering information about an individual before starting or progressing with physical activity. It combines pre-screening tools, such as health questionnaires and health screenings, with fitness testing that measures components like strength, endurance, and flexibility. Together, these steps help identify any risks, establish a baseline level of fitness, and guide the design of safe and effective exercise programs for both recreational participants and elite athletes.
