Sports Science Institute of South Africa SSISA Prime Time Programme

If you are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease, but have completed a stress test with a negative result. If you’ve had a cardiac event, you must have completed at least 3 months of cardiac rehabilitation and have taken a stress ECG that clears you for exercise within the past 12 months.

TRAINING GUIDELINES

 



TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR PROGRAMME YOU SHOULD:

 

  • Train at least 3 times a week. You can either train with the Prime Time group classes or independently – as long as it coincides with the nurses duty hours.
  • ‘Check in’ with the nurse before and after each session. Any details or measurements will be jotted down in your logbook.
  • Train with a heart rate monitor.
  • Safety parameters will be put in place for you. These are pre-determined by your referring doctor, such as heart rate limits, etc.
