(1)          running or jogging an average of at least 30 kilometres per week for the one month before the clinical onset of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome;
(2)          undertaking weight bearing exercise involving repeated activity of the hip on the affected side, at a minimum intensity of five METs, for at least four hours per week for the one month before the clinical onset of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome;
Note: MET is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(3)          increasing the frequency, duration or intensity of weight bearing activity involving the hip on the affected side by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least two hours per day, within the seven days before the clinical onset of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome;
