INFORMED CONSENT:
I understand that there are potential risks to physical activity,
evaluation and testing. I will be working around exercise machines,
exercise accessories (e.g. tubing), testing instruments and involved
in testing protocols (e.g. step test) and could be exposed to some
accidents. I will be participating in exercise activities such as
running and weight training and could be exposed to an injury. This
could include straining or even tearing muscles, tendons, ligaments,
or heart strain even though care will be taken by myself and others
to avoid such injury. I will inform the instructor(s) if there are
any problems during these tests or activities. (These are the usual
risks that are involved with exercise testing and activity.) At
any time I may withdraw my consent and terminate my participation
in the activities described above. I hereby release and hold harmless
the agents, officers and employees of the Vancouver YWCA and affiliated
companies, from any liability with respect to me or my property
arising out of or connected with my partaking of any programs and
courses offered by the Vancouver YWCA. I agree that a Photostat
or Faxed copy of this consent and authorization form is accepted
as the real document.
