CHS-MARION WELLNESS PROGRAM

CONSENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE WELLNESS PROGRAM

I desire and am voluntarily entering the CHS-Marion wellness exercise program. As an enrollee, I accept the following statements:

1.  The program is an opportunity provided by CHS-Marion to upgrade my physical fitness level while enrolled in a program of exercise.

2.  The program is designed to improve cardiovascular health, flexibility, muscular strength and endurance.

3.  I do not know of any physical condition that would effect my participation in this program (Examples: heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, knee, back and or foot problems, pregnancy, or epilepsy). I will promptly report any changes in my health or any signs or symptoms indicating any abnormality or distress which could affect my continuing in the program to the staff of the Wellness Center.

4.  The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that “apparently healthy individuals under age 45 can usually begin exercise programs without the need for exercise testing………. at or above age 45 it is desirable to have a maximal exercise test before beginning an exercise program. Also, an exercise test prior to beginning a vigorous exercise program is desirable for high-risk individuals of any age. Persons with symptoms suggestive of coronary, pulmonary, or metabolic disease should have a physician supervised maximum exercise test prior to beginning a vigorous exercise program at any age.”

MAJOR CORONARY RISK FACTORS INCLUDE:

1.  History of high blood pressure

2.  Elevated cholesterol/lipid levels

3.  Cigarette smoking

4.  Abnormal resting EKG - including evidence of ischemia, conduction defects or dysrhythmias.

5.  Family history of coronary or other atherosclerotic disease prior to age 50.

6.  Diabetes mellitus.

Having read the above, I understand that:

A.  If I am 45 years old or older with major coronary risk factors, I agree to bring a signed medical consent form from my physician stating that I can participate in this program. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that a treadmill test be done for anyone over 45 starting an exercise program. The need for a treadmill will be determined by my physician.

B.  At any age, if I have at least one major coronary risk factor I agree to bring a signed medical consent form from my physician stating that I can participate in this program. My physician will determine the need for exercise testing.

I understand that there are risks involved in participating in an exercise program. I have assumed whatever risk may occur which could harm my body by placing excessive stress on any part of my body. My participation in this program is purely voluntary on my part and on my own evaluation that the potential benefits of the fitness program outweigh the risks.
