The PANDA Trial is a study designed to increase physical activity for people with cardiometabolic diseases aged 45years plus .

Would the research project be a good fit for me?
We are looking for community members from diverse backgrounds who are willing to participate in a nature-based exercise program (Nature Prescription). The study might be a good fit for you if you are physically inactive, have a cardiometabolic condition, are aged 45years or over and would like to improve your health by spending time and being active in nature.
Will I be paid to take part in the research project?

Resources for Pre-Screening Survey:
You can measure your wrist/arm size at home several different ways, but one of the easiest methods is to simply stretch a length of string/ribbon around your wrist, cut it where the string meets, and then measure the string with a ruler or tape measure. The resulting measurement is your wrist/arm circumference.
If you would like to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI), a BMI calculator can be found at the Heart Foundation Website: https://www.heartfoundation.org.au/bmi-calculator
