Mary is a 52-year-old woman who has not worked out in over a year but participates on a leisure softball team that meets one time a week for about 2 hours. After reviewing her PAR-Q+ answers, you notice she takes medication for elevated blood pressure (142/82 when not on medication and 138/78 with the medication) and has exercise induced Asthma (controlled by an inhaler).

Would these factors indicate that medical clearance is required? Why or why not?
