Get Active Questionnaire (GAQ)

Published: February 2, 2023

For almost everyone, the benefits of physical activity far outweigh any risks. However, for some individuals, specific physical activity guidance from a Healthcare Professional (Consultant, Doctor, Nurse, Physio, OT, etc.) is advisable.

Prior to starting activity at a community-based programme co-ordinated by WSP
you will be required to complete a Get Active Questionnaire (GAQ)

This questionnaire is intended for all ages, and it will help make us aware of your current health situation. Your answers will inform us about your readiness for physical activity.

PLEASE REVIEW THE GAQ QUESTIONNAIRE BEFORE ATTENDING A COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMME
CO-ORDINATED BY WSP. YOU WILL BE ASKED TO COMPLETE THE QUESTIONNAIRE WHEN YOU ATTEND THE FIRST SESSION.

Get Active & Stay Active

Published: February 2, 2023

Being physically active is one of the most important steps that you can take to improve your health, whatever your age or ability. Some physical activity is better than none, more is better than some, and any amount of physical activity you do results in health benefits.

Exercise Guidelines for adults (aged 18 – 64)
At least 30 minutes a day of moderate intensity activity, five days a week
(or 150 minutes a week).

Exercise Guidelines for older people (aged 65+)
At least 30 minutes a day of moderate intensity activity, five days a week
(or 150 minutes a week).

Focus on aerobic activity, muscle strengthening and balance.
To start, try and aim for 10-minute bouts. Start off small and build up from there.

THE ‘TALK’ TEST will help you to determine if your activity is moderate to vigorous’ level?
THE ‘TALK’ TEST is a scale of effort, 0=no effort and 10=maximum effort.

Moderate activity corresponds to 5-6 on the scale which is generally ‘aerobic exercise’. This generally makes people feel ‘a little bit sweaty’ and more aware of their breathing. If walking at 5-6 it should be easy to carry on a conversation.

Vigorous activity would be 7-8 on this scale – at this level it would be difficult to continue a conversation while undertaking physical activity
