The question is
frequently raised whether a medical examination is advisable before commencing a
training program. Certainly anyone who is doubtful about his state of health
should consult a physician. In principle, however, there is less risk in
activity than in continuous inactivity. In a nutshell, our opinion is that it is
more advisable to pass a careful medical examination if one intends to be
sedentary in order to establish whether one’s state of health is good enough to
stand the inactivity!
