We care about your health

Before we send you over to the general registration, we would like to ask to you first fill out an initial assessment of your individual health risk for participating in sports, the so-called “Personal Activity and Prevention Screening Test (PAPS Test)”. This “online preventive medical exam” will provide you with a basis for your next doctor’s visit or check up in just 2-3 minutes. The test is recommended by both the German Athletics Association and in a similar form by the German Society for Sports Medicine and Prevention as an important tool for prevention.

Regular physical activity has a positive effect on one’s health and is recommended by the German Olympic Sports Association and all medical societies. Participation in sports, however, is no guarantee for a risk-free health status. Familial anamnesis, as well as lifestyle risk factors can be in part unrelated to one’s training condition, and one should be aware of them ahead of time. For this reason, please be honest with yourself in answering the questions. This questionnaire has the intent of making you aware of your physical condition. The resulting recommendation from the questionnaire is for your personal and voluntary utilisation. The PAPS test does not replace a visit to the doctor and cannot give 100% certitude about any existing or developing risks. Such a test can, however, give you and your doctor important indications as to what you should have investigated at your next doctor’s visit.

Your personal data will only be used in anonymous and encrypted form for research purposes by the Medical Board of SCC EVENTS. The study has been registered and approved by the data protection officials of SCC EVENTS GmbH. The data protection officials of SCC EVENTS GmbH are in charge of the data collection, anonymisation, analysis, and use of the data.
