Answer to Question 1

Diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular compromise. So before starting any exercise program, a client with a history of diabetes should have a cardiac workup to be sure the client participates in a safe exercise program for his or her condition. Women over the age of 50, pregnant women, or men over 40 do not need a cardiac workup unless they have a history of health factors that would compromise their heart health.
