To ensure that you and everyone else can have a great and safe day it’s important that you read and understand the useful information set out below, particularly the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire and Equipment List.
We are really looking forward to getting to know you on the day and to exploring some unique locations with you.
Please use the tabs below to find out more.
If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you significantly change your physical activity patterns. If you are over 69 years of age and are not used to being very active, check with your doctor. Common sense is your best guide when answering these questions. Please read carefully and answer each one honestly: check YES or NO.
Has your doctor ever said you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor? YES or NO
Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? YES or NO
In the past month, have you had a chest pain when you were not doing physical activity? YES or NO
Do you lose your balance because of dizziness, or do you ever lose consciousness? YES or NO
Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee, or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity? YES or NO
Is your doctor currently prescribing medication for your blood pressure or heart condition? YES or NO
Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? YES or NO
If you have answered NO to all the above questions, you can reasonably assume that you are fit to safely enjoy the activity days Positive Steps Outdoors has to offer. If you answered YES to one of more of these questions, you should consider consulting your GP/doctor to clarify whether it is safe for you to undertake the activity.
If you answered yes to question 7 please provide the details on the Consent and Medical Form when making your booking.
