The Health Declaration is a self-declared Get Active Questionnaire (GAQ) to help you assess your readiness to participate in physical activity. In the refreshed National Steps Challenge™, the MVPA category hopes to encourage more participants to embark on higher intensity physical activities. As participants’ safety is always our highest priority, we would like to ensure that eligible participants embark on MVPA in a safe and appropriate way.
Hence, it is mandatory for you to complete and submit the Health Declaration in the Healthy 365 app before you can start participating in the MVPA category. Participants who answered “No, I have 1 or more health conditions” are still able to participate in the National Steps Challenge™ but they will not be able to participate and earn Healthpoints in the MVPA category. These participants are encouraged to consult with their doctor/physiotherapist and obtain medical clearance before embarking on higher intensity physical activities.
If there is a change in your health status, you can re-submit your Health Declaration via the Healthy 365 app.
- Select “Profile” > “Health Declaration”.
- Select the status of your health condition and tap “confirm”.
Please note that you are only allowed to re-submit the Health Declaration once a day.
