Regular exercise is safe for most people, but in some health conditions a doctor's approval is needed before starting training. For your safety Kaldıraç applies a health declaration form.
Health declaration form
A 7-question physical activity readiness form is completed at membership application. If you have a condition such as chest pain, dizziness, a heart condition, high blood pressure, a joint problem, pregnancy or medication use, doctor approval is requested before training starts. Declaration details are used only by your coach to adapt your programme.
In these cases stop training and ask for help
- Pressure or pain in the chest, or pain spreading to the left arm or jaw
- Extreme shortness of breath, feeling faint, dizziness
- Palpitations and an irregular heartbeat
- Sudden, sharp pain in a joint or muscle
All staff in our clubs have basic life support training and every club has an automated defibrillator (AED). In an emergency tell the nearest staff member; 112 is called immediately.
Warm-up, cool-down and hydration
Do a light warm-up of 5–10 minutes at the start of every workout and 5 minutes of cool-down and stretching at the end. Drink water at regular intervals even if you do not feel thirsty. Reduce intensity on hot summer days.
Pool and sauna safety
Running is forbidden in the pool area; children can enter the pool only at designated hours and under adult supervision. Sauna use should not exceed 10–15 minutes and should be avoided in pregnancy, cardiovascular disease and after drinking alcohol. Drink enough water before and after the sauna.
