STAGE 3 (OPTIONAL)
RISK STRATIFICATION
AIM: To obtain pre-exercise baseline measurements of other recognised cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors.
This stage is to be administered by a qualified exercise professional. (Measures 1, 2 & 3 – minimum qualification,
Certificate III in Fitness; Measures 4 and 5 minimum level, Exercise Physiologist*).
Total stage 2
or
Total stage 3
Plus stage 2 (Q1 - Q4)
≥ 2 RISK FACTORS – MODERATE RISK CLIENTS
Individuals at moderate risk may participate in aerobic physical activity/exercise at a
light or moderate intensity (Refer to the exercise intensity table on page 2)
< 2 RISK FACTORS – LOW RISK CLIENTS
Individuals at low risk may participate in aerobic physical activity/exercise up to a
vigorous or high intensity (Refer to the exercise intensity table on page 2)
RESULTS
STAGE 3 Total Risk Factors =
Note: If stage 3 is completed, identified risk factors from stage 2 (Q1-4) and stage 3 should be combined to indicate risk. If there are extreme or multiple risk factors, the exercise professional
should use professional judgement to decide whether further medical advice is required.
