Exercise Requirements –
The legal staff of the facility should review and approve of all consent and waiver forms before beginning this program. Here are some successful suggestions which are included in the back of your manual.
1. Description of the Program
2. A Facility application/Hippa release form if applicable to your program
3. Medical Clearance to participate in the Parkinson’s Cycling Program from the Neurologist and other personal physicians.
4. Parkinson’s Cycling Screening Form
5. General release of liability
6. Training heart rate zones
Collect the facility application, Hippa release form, liability release, medical clearance form, and then review the Parkinson’s Cycling screening form with the participant and his or her support group. At this time it will be a perfect opportunity to begin to create the accepting and welcoming atmosphere that will encompass and support these individuals as the program begins and moves forward.
**These suggested forms are included at the back of your manual.**
It will be necessary to screen each participant on an individual basis. The Parkinson’s Cycling Coach will collect and review all other documents listed. It is extremely important to have all the documents completed and in the hands of the coach before any activity begins.
