Part A
Case study – Provide referral (15 marks)
Task:
1. Provide a profile of a medical and/or allied health professional who could be chosen to
communicate with about the case study client outlined below. You will need to communicate
with a medical and/or allied health professional in regards to clearance before prescribing an
exercise program. This will depend on the type/s of medical and allied health professionals
chosen – that is, if the person is only suited to treating patients of a medical nature, an additional
letter and report to an allied health professional may be necessary. Outline their area of expertise
to justify your referral to this medical and/allied health professional. Provide evidence of your
communication with this medical and/or allied health professional.
2. Using the above information, prepare a letter to a relevant medical and/or allied health
professional in regards to the client’s results on his pre-exercise screening form. The letter is to
contain an introduction and an overview of your requirements – that is, you will require
clearance and guidance in order to deliver a fitness program for the client.
3. Prepare a report to support this letter that outlines:
● the results of the pre-exercise screening form and fitness test
● request for clearance to perform these exercises and activities, and/or clearance to perform
alternatives as suggested by the medical and/or allied health professional
● the client’s fitness goals and your view on his goals
● an outline of the client’s risk factors and why these risk factors are beyond your area of
expertise.
Case study – Peter
Peter is a 51-year-old male client at the gym. He has been referred from a doctor. He was recently
involved in a motor vehicle accident (three months ago). Peter suffered from a fractured tibia in the
car accident, which was operated on, and then placed in a plaster of Paris cast for six weeks. He has
recovered well from this operation. The bone is in good condition and cleared for exercise following

some early rounds of physiotherapy. Peter’s doctor has recommended that he start going to the gym
to get fit and healthy again. Prior to his motor vehicle accident Peter walked daily, but he has never
exercised in a gym before. Peter reports feeling very tight in the calf muscles and ankle since the
plaster was removed six weeks ago. Peter’s other health information, as provided by his doctor,
includes:
● a blood pressure reading of 142/92 bpm
● asthma (he takes ventolin)
● poor eating habits, such as frequent takeaway lunches at work and dinner, skipping breakfast.
Note: Although this doctor has suggested that Peter join a gym, you should still assume that you will
require clearance from the relevant medical and/or allied health professionals prior to exercise
testing and/or programming when considering Peter’s medical and health status.
