Twenty-three medically oriented private health-fitness evaluation centers in the United States were surveyed to determine the types of tests available, protocols used, the availability of exercise prescriptions, qualifications of employees, and facility use. All centers administered an electrocardiogram exercise tolerance test, but great variability existed with regard to the number and type of other tests given and services available. Questions in the survey explored the availability of cardiovascular, pulmonary function, musculoskeletal, body composition, and lifestyle evaluations. Some centers were restricted to testing solely for cardiovascular function, while others were complete wellness centers. The centers had a range of 8 to 325 patrons per month, and in general, they tested more men than women.
对美国23家以医学为导向的私人健康健身评估中心进行了调查，以确定可用的测试类型、所采用的方案、运动处方的提供情况、员工资质以及设施使用情况。所有中心都进行了心电图运动耐量测试，但在其他所提供的测试数量和类型以及可用服务方面存在很大差异。调查中的问题探讨了心血管、肺功能、肌肉骨骼、身体成分和生活方式评估的提供情况。一些中心仅限于进行心血管功能测试，而其他一些则是完整的健康中心。这些中心每月的顾客数量在8至325人之间，总体而言，接受测试的男性多于女性。
