Every Medical Exercise Specialist Must Check Blood Pressure - MET 101 Tip 35
Blood pressure monitoring is a critical part of medical exercise training, particularly for clients with hypertension. In MET101 Tip 35, Dr. Mike explains why this practice is so important. Hypertension, often called the "silent killer," can go unnoticed in clients who appear healthy and active, making regular monitoring essential to prevent serious health issues.
Key Points:
- Monitor New Clients: Every new client should have their blood pressure checked to identify potential hypertension.
- Check Regularly for Hypertensive Clients: For clients diagnosed with hypertension, monitor blood pressure before, after, and ideally during sessions.
- Keep Records: Maintain detailed records of your clients' blood pressure readings, and share this information with their healthcare providers.
- Partner with Dietitians: Exercise and diet are both crucial in managing hypertension. Collaborate with registered dietitians to offer comprehensive care.
- Preventive Care: Regular blood pressure checks can potentially save lives by identifying issues before they become dangerous.
By making blood pressure checks a routine part of your medical exercise training practice, you can enhance client safety and improve outcomes.
