METHODS: Participants (n = 1670) completed the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone (PAR-Q+) and had their resting BP measured. Individuals with a BP >160/90 mmHg were further screened for contraindications to exercise using the ePARMed-X+ (www.eparmedx.com), all 1670 were cleared.
