摘要
A survey of 110 fitness centers in Massachusetts reveals that many do not follow generally accepted guidelines for administering preparticipation cardiovascular screening, obtain physician consent for individuals with known cardiovascular disease, and prepare for emergency situations should they occur. Thus, the promotion of physical activity to the general public now underway in the United States must also coincide with better screening at all fitness centers to maximize the potential for safe exercise participation at fitness centers.
