AN INVESTIGATION OF RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN THE HEALTH AND FITNESS FACILITIES IN QUEENSLAND: MINIMISING THE LIKELIHOOD OF LEGAL LIABILITY
- Share to:
The Australian health/fitness industry is an important contributor to the national preventative public health strategy against obesity and associated health risk factors such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, various forms of cancer, osteoporosis and mental health problems (Commonwealth of Australia, 2010; Mathers et al., 2000). Although regular physical activity can significantly reduce obesity and associated health risk factors, epidemiological studies show that vigorous exercise can trigger cardiac events, especially in habitually sedentary people with known or unknown coronary artery disease (Corrado et al., 2006b). Furthermore, participation in physical activity by persons with obesity and diabetes is associated with an increased risk for musculoskeletal injuries, joint injuries, osteoarthritis, and disability (Brukner and Brown, 2005; Wilder and Cicchetti, 2009).
