• Other acute or unstable medical conditions which are poorly controlled or impact on safety such as poorly controlled diabetes, recent angina or unstable psychological conditions.

Pre-Exercise Screening requirements

Healthy Lifestyle considers the safety of participants to be of paramount importance and therefore requires all Healthy Lifestyle class participants undertake annual pre-exercise screening.  A copy of the Pre-Exercise Questionnaire can be found under the Enrolment tab on the Home page.

Pre-exercise screening is used to identify people who may have medical conditions which put them at a higher risk of an adverse event during physical activity/exercise. It is a filter or 'safety net' to help determine if the potential benefits of exercise outweigh the risks for an individual. 

Healthy Lifestyle has implemented the Adult Pre-Exercise Screening System (APSS) from Term 1 2022, which is the health and fitness industry standard screening tool (endorsed by Fitness Australia, Sports Medicine Australia and Exercise and Sports Science Australia).  More information on this tool can be found by clicking here .

Stage 1 of the APSS tool (V2, 2019) is self-administered via questionnaire to potential class participants. A copy of this Questionnaire can be found under the Enrolment tab on the Home page. The following key questions are included:

1. Has your doctor ever told you that you have a heart condition or have you ever suffered a stroke? (Heart conditions include, but are not limited to: post myocardial infarction (heart attack), angina, coronary artery bypass, coronary angioplasty, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, heart transplant, pacemaker insertion, congenital heart disease, heart valve disease and peripheral artery disease) 
2. Do you ever experience unexplained pains in your chest at rest or during physical activity/exercise? (Any unexplained chest pain that feels like constriction, burning, knifelike pains and/or dull ache)
3. Do you ever feel faint or have spells of dizziness during physical activity/exercise that causes you to lose balance? (Examples of dizziness may include, but are not limited to: light-headedness or the feeling of nearly fainting, loss of balance or other sensations such as floating or swimming)
4. Have you had an asthma attack requiring immediate medical attention at any time over the last 12 months? (Medical attention refers to a medical practitioner or hospital visit following an asthma attack. It does not include the self administration of medications prescribed for asthma)
5. If you have diabetes (type I or type II) have you had trouble controlling your blood glucose in the last 3 months? (Trouble controlling blood sugar refers to suffering from hyperglycaemia (high) or hypoglycaemia (low).)
6. Do you have any muscle, bone or joint problem that could be made worse with physical activity/exercise? (Examples include, but not limited to: recent bone fracture/s, surgeries or injuries)
7. Do you have any other medical condition(s) or recent changes in your health status that may require special consideration for you to exercise? (Examples include, but not limited to: acute injury, epilepsy, transplants, cancer)

If participants answer “Yes" to any of these questions, they are directed to seek the advice of a medical Doctor regarding their suitability to exercise and to complete the Healthy Lifestyle Medical Clearance Form.

If participants answer “No" to all questions, they may enrol in a Healthy Lifestyle exercise class without a Medical Clearance. If their medical/health status does change, they are advised to immediately inform their Exercise Leader and seek the advice of their medical Doctor regarding exercise participation.

Medical Clearance requirements

Virtual Lungs in Action (Pulmonary and Cardiac Maintenance) Class

The only class requiring annual medical eligibility review and written clearance is the Virtual Lungs in Action (Pulmonary and Cardiac Maintenance) Class. This is important to ensure that participants are safe to participate in virtual exercise and continue to meet the maintenance class criteria of:

• having a stable chronic lung or heart condition AND
• having completed pulmonary or cardiac rehabilitation within the last 6 months and remain in stable health (or have been participating in the maintenance class).

A specific Lungs in Action (Pulmonary and Cardiac Maintenance Class) section has been included on the Healthy Lifestyle Medical Clearance Form for doctors to complete. A copy of this form can be accessed on the home page.

If participants do not meet the class eligibility criteria, ie. have not been stable over the past 6 months, then a referral back to a suitable Cardiac or Pulmonary Rehabilitation program is suggested.  Referral to these services can be accessed in Northern Sydney Local Health District by contacting the Health Contact Centre on 1300 732 503 from 7:30am - 6:00pm Monday to Friday.

All other Healthy Lifestyle classes

For all other classes, medical review and clearance is only required for those participants who answer “Yes" to any of the Pre-Exercise Screening questions.  If participants do report changes in their medical or health status, Medical Clearance may be requested to confirm their safety to participate during the term.

We ask that when assessing a participants suitability for exercise, Doctors review the specific Class descriptions, suitability criteria and exercise contra-indications (listed on this web page).

If further information is required on class content and requirements, please contact Healthy Lifestyle on 9926 5555.
