Get your FREE exercise risk assessment!
As part of AFAA’s first public health initiative, The *Aerobics and
Fitness Association of America is proud to offer you a free exercise risk
assessment! Prior to beginning any form of regular exercise, it is very
important to understand any and all exercise risks that you may have,
so that you can safely engage in regular exercise without compromising
your health. The first step in completing and understanding your exercise
risks is to complete Fitness Triage®. Fitness Triage® is a 32-item questionnaire
that is designed to identify your exercise risk status. Simply complete
the questionnaire accurately and the system will automatically analyze
the data using AFAA’s patented Fitness Triage® software and display your
results using a color-coded classification system:
RED (stop) - We strongly suggest that you seek professional health care advice and a physician's clearance before attempting any physical activity as the information that you provided suggests temporary or chronic conditions that are exercise risk factors
YELLOW (caution) - Please proceed with caution as the information that you have provided signifies that you may have one or more temporary or chronic conditions that might indicate an exercise risk factor.
GREEN (go) - Based on the information that you have provided there appears to be no evidence of any significant exercise risk factors.
Then, there is a list of links to detailed Fitness Gets Personal® content information on topics that relate specifically to your exercise risk factors. This information is accurate, reliable and up-to-date. To begin your free exercise risk assessment, please click here.
