Informed Consent

 

Exercise programmes are designed to improve cardiovascular (heart and lungs) fitness, muscle tone and strength, endurance and flexibility.

​

When participating in activities / exercises, you are likely to experience different levels of intensity over varying lengths of time. As a result you may experience quicker breathing patterns, an increase in heart rate and become hot very easily.

​

The activities / exercises you participate in will be explained to you and demonstrated but you are advised to ask questions if you are not clear about anything.

​

Any exercise carries with it an element of risk such as muscle pulls, joint strains, aches, pains and general discomfort in parts of the body. 

​

Please inform the instructor if there is any reason why you should not participate in an activity; for example you are pregnant or have an illness or injury, which might be aggravated by exercise.

​

If at any time you experience undue pain or excessive discomfort, stop the activity immediately and inform the instructor.

​

• I have read and understood the conditions and risks of participation and I consent to voluntarily take part in the activities required.

• I understand that I am free to withdraw my consent and to withdraw from the activities at any time, without negative consequences.
