TL;DR: ACSM’s new preparticipation health screening recommendations are as follows: individuals with 2 or more major CVD risk factors; individuals with signs and symptoms of CVD; and those with known cardiac, pulmonary, or metabolic disease.

TL;DR: Sex specificity may not be as important as considering that a barrier for one student may be an enabler for another, and individually focused interventions must be implemented in conjunction with environmental-level interventions to facilitate behavior change.
