Conditions for participation

Participating in the HASICplus health course supports you in achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, HASICplus is not a replacement for medical advice, diagnostics and therapy. If you are suffering from a medical condition please consult your physician whether the participation in HASICplus is suited to your therapy regime.

Especially concerning physical activity consulting your physician is important. This applies particularly to beginners and to people who have had a longer training break, to persons with health conditions or ailments. Also if risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, high serum lipid levels or diabetes are present, we strongly recommend a physical exam by a GP or specialist in sports medicine. Health related incidents of older people are mainly caused by undetected heart or cardiovascular conditions. Therefore a physical exam is essential for older people, people exhibiting risk factors and after a longer training break.
