Instructions:
1. For each individual, determine their predicted maximal oxygen uptake from the YMCA test results and complete the exercise prescription based on these results.
2. For each individual, compile data into a one page typed sheet assessing their physical fitness as well as their resting HR/BP, and BMI.
3. Include a description of what the YMCA test evaluates and the importance of this test. Include numbers and classifications/percentiles for your findings.
4. The 1-2 page document that you create should be formatted as an informational handout that you will be giving the individual to summarize their results. Therefore, you must make it easy to read and interpret and should only include pertinent values (e.g. VO2, HR, BP, BMI). Focus on quality vs quantity of what is written.
5. The last portion of each document must include the distinct exercise prescription that you calculated for this individual (both moderate and vigorous intensity).
