Abstract

This paper describes how technology can be used in health-related screening, testing, exercise prescription, and program evaluation. Technology can assist the healthlfitness professional in these elements of a fitness program by saving time and space. But because many of the devices lack adequate validity and calibration, fitness professionals are encouraged to make careful decisions concerning what specific tasks can be more effectively accomplished with the aid of technology.
