Discusses whether anyone can start training.
"Before going to the gym, an athlete should make sure their body is healthy and undergo a series of examinations. First, a complete blood count (CBC) is required. It contains information on key indicators of body function. With a CBC, for example, an ongoing inflammatory process in the body can be detected.
A blood biochemistry test (BCT) is also necessary. The BCT carries information about the function of organ systems and tissues, allowing the detection of chronic diseases. A hormone blood test will help identify endocrine disorders. For training to be truly effective, a healthy hormonal balance must be maintained. Before going to the gym, blood tests for thyroid hormones, sex hormones, adrenal and pituitary hormones should be taken.
It is also advisable to take a general urine test to assess urinary system function. An important examination before starting training is the electrocardiogram (ECG), which will help identify heart disease and rhythm disturbances. All these tests should be retaken at least once a year".
