Objective: To determine the level of awareness amongst fitness trainers about the fitness protocols and the principles to be followed for exercise testing and prescription. Method: This is a survey based study conducted using a self devised pre-validated questionnaire. Results. There are lacunas in information, usefulness as well as application of standard methods of pre exercise testing and fitness protocols adopted by fitness trainers for gym going subjects.
