Guidelines for Exercise Testing

The following bullets are the ACSM's guidelines for exercise testing for individuals with dylipidemia:

• Individuals should be screened and risk classified prior to exercise testing.
• Caution should be used when testing individuals with dyslipidemia because underlying CVD may be present
• Standard exercise testing methods and protocols are appropriate for use with individuals with dyslipidemia cleared for exercise testing. Special consideration should be given to the presence of other chronic diseases and health conditions that may require modifications to standard exercise testing protocols and modalities.
