During which part of your intake process should you direct your attention toward detecting any possible cardiorespiratory dysfunction?
Definition
B. The PAR-Q is specifically directed toward detecting any possible cardiorespiratory dysfunction such as congential heart disease (CHD). The initial client consultation should take place prior to the PAR-Q and would be the time to discuss frequency of meetings, personal rates, and scheduling for further information gatherin, such as the PAR-Q. The general history can be any information gathered from the client, including occupation and lifestyle choices. The personal data gait is a collection of objective information. Measurements such as baody fat, body mass index (BMI), weight, and so on should be taken at this time.

Maximal oxygen consumption
Definition
(V  2max ) may be the best measure of cardiorespiratory
 tness ( 3 , 5 , 7 , 15 ). V   2max is the highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization

80 mL · kg –1 · min –1 , or approximately 11 to 23 METs ( 7 , 15 ).  e only way todetermine
V   2max is to directly measure ventilation, oxygen consumption, and carbon
