Unrealistic CAA health guidelines
Hi all,
I'm a fairly big guy and whilst this past year I've carried some extra weight, I've worked hard to get it down. My BMI is currently 36 which requires me to undergo 6 month cardiovascular assessments (it was 42) until it gets to below 35.
My question is in my current state, I have a body fat % of 16% which is on the lower end of the average scale, I regularly run 5k fun runs, I have taken part in 10k toughmudders, rough runners you name it. I go to the gym 5 times a week and at my first cardiovascular assessment and in every other assessment conducted by trained medical professionals, they are all in disbelief that I have to go through these hoops.
Nevertheless, I am told that this is the CAA guidelines and that I have to lump it. Is there an appeal process I can take to go around these guidelines? Or is this something I'm going to have to deal with for the foreseeable future?
