Analyze whether Rose should undergo clinical exercise testing

Analyze whether Rose should undergo clinical exercise testing. Support your
decision with a clear rationale. 
Rose has to undergo clinical exercise testing. Rose has never been involved in any
exercise program before. Her BMI exceeds 30.0 and this means that she is obese. She has
also been diagnosed with diabetes. She therefore has to mandatorily undergo exercise
testing to prevent the occurrence of adverse effects. Her family’s health history of
cardiovascular disease puts her at risk of developing the disease. She does not have a
detailed medical history having not seen a doctor for the last ten years. The lack of a
detailed medical history creates various uncertainties pertaining her health. She therefore
has to undergo clinical exercise testing to ensure that she is not in danger of various
health complications (American College of Sports Medicine, 2018).
 Explain your role and duties to Rose, as well as your recommendation for or
against clinical exercise testing. Be convincing in your explanation so that Rose
fully understands your recommendations and rationale. 
Hello Rose, based on your available health data, I suggest that you will have to undergo
clinical exercise testing. It is our aim to ensure that you are in perfect health through out the
exercise program and that the benefits outweigh the risks. I aim to ensure that you are not at
risk of developing complications that could put your health and by extension your life in
danger. Your diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, your high BMI, and your family history of
cardiovascular disease mean that we have to take all precautions necessary to guarantee your
health and wellbeing. I am a non-physician who is trained on clinical exercise tests and I am
looking forward to working with you. I am intrigued by the fact that you understand the
benefits of exercising and that you are looking forward to cutting some weight before the
wedding. It is my responsibility to ensure that you succeed and achieve your fitness goals.

 Assess Rose’s potential risks and complications involved in exercising and/or
exercise testing.
Rose is obese and this puts her at risk of developing cardiovascular problems during
exercise. Her current sedentary lifestyle does not give a clear indication of how her
body and cardiovascular system might respond with exercise. Since Rose is diabetic,
she could be at risk of cardiovascular events early and delayed hypoglycemia and
hyperglycemia, and ketosis (Chipkin et al.,2001).
 Recommend a specific intensity and duration for daily exercise to Rose. State the
rationale for your recommendation. 
Rose has a sedentary lifestyle and therefore I would recommend that she begins with
30 minutes of light to moderate exercises 5 times a week. The aim is to build her
endurance and based on the principles of exercise, increase the intensity
progressively. With an increase in endurance and tolerance levels, Rose can begin
jogging and running.
 Recommend two specific dietary changes which may aid Rose in losing weight.
The key to recommending a dietary change is to study Rose’s current dietary habits.
After the analysis of her dietary habits, I would recommend that she avoids junk foods
and ensures that she consumes lots of vegetables and whole fruits.
