A detailed data collection of the subject is essential to develop an effective and personalized work. Therefore, the more comprehensive this is, the more useful it will be.
We should also not underestimate the fact that probably the medical history is one of the first elements on which our client will build an opinion regarding our skills; it therefore has, in addition to a practical function, also an important commercial role.
Why is a complete medical history sheet important in personal training?
However, very often the proposed files focus only on some aspects, albeit relevant, resulting in gaps in recording other elements - such as pathologies, allergies and pharmacological picture - which may prove to be equally indispensable for the success of programming. It was therefore decided to do something useful by proposing an example of an anamnesis card as complete as possible and thus providing a guide in data collection.

It addresses one of the most important points of data collection as it provides information on the subject's health status, which is fundamental to the development of the work program.

It involves the detection of body circumferences and the measurement of plicometry and / or bio-impedancemetry for the analysis of body composition.
Postural anamnesis
Evaluate the client, through appropriate tests on the degree of joint mobility of the ankles, knees, hip, shoulder girdle and spine. It then evaluates the presence of dysmorphisms and / or paramorphisms.
The anamnesis is thus concluded.
