What about the study care and the safeguarding of all participants?
Yes, our trained exercise professionals will make sure that the exercise programme you take is within your capabilities and won’t cause you any harm. They are all trained in first aid and to be able to identify when someone is exercising at a level beyond one that is good for them.
The exercise programmes are monitored by trained GP referral exercise specialists. You can meet some of them in the accompanying videos on this website. They will talk to you about your state of health, what kinds of activity you already do and they will help you plan a safe exercise programme.
“It’s actually been quite incredible because I have been looked after in ways that I didn’t expect so that has actually made me want to come and join in… there’s always lots of encouragement, so when I first started, Sian would come round with me, sort of baby steps to make sure that I had got everything, so I really have been looked after”
