Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire 

Prior to participating in our upcoming event, we need you to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire.

For most people, physical activity should not pose any problem or hazard, however, potential risks, whilst not apparent at rest, may be exacerbated by an increase in levels of physical activity.

This questionnaire is designed to identify the small number of participants for whom physical activity might be inappropriate, so please could you just take a few minutes to complete the questions below by carefully reading each  question and selecting the appropriate answer.

You are wholly responsible for your answers and if you are in any doubt you should seek medical advice with your GP before continuing to register for this event.
