Individuals whose scores fall below the threshold, which can be interpreted as a z-value, do not meet the exercise criteria and are classified as non-exercisers; those with scores exceeding the threshold are classified as regular exercisers.

Among a large cohort of overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes, 22.5% had abnormal stress tests by ECG, angina, heart rate recovery, or exercise capacity criteria despite thorough pretest screening.
A meeting has been scheduled in Paris in September, after the Coral Sea exercise, to draft criteria for future interdiction efforts.
