The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association have strongly recommended pre-exercise screening for adults who want to start moderately vigorous exercise.

Among the topics covered: risks of serious emergencies in exercising adults, health clubs are often unprepared, standards of care and professional guidelines, personal injury case law and changing public expectations for emergency response, and steps to organize, prepare, and maintain readiness. - 35 Minutes
