3. Action By The Candidate. I have read and am aware of the above questions. I have
no doubts or concerns over my current state of health, medical suitability or my ability to
train in preparation for the RMBFT and/or to carry out the RMBFT. I am aware that should
I have any such concerns I am to refer them immediately to the Sickbay and inform the
PT Staff. (The PT Staff require no detail of any referral).
I have been given the option to undertake the standard RMBFT or the RMBFT 40+
I have undertaken regular, rigorous exercise prior to the test and am fully aware that
exercise at high intensities (maximal or close to maximal) particularly in older age groups
( 40 years +) increases the risk of a cardiovascular event (e.g. dysrrthmia, heart attack or
sudden cardiac death) during or immediately after the exercise period in all individuals.
I accept this risk as a personal choice.
