RELEASE FOR PARTICIPATION
Purpose and Explanation of Procedures
I, ________________________, hereby consent to voluntarily engage in the TWU
LEAD-UP Wellness Program. Initially, I will be involved in a wellness program only
where I am free to participate in the available exercise activities within the given program
hours. The levels of exercise I perform will be based upon my cardiorespiratory fitness
(heart and lungs) and my muscular fitness. I acknowledge it is required by the TWU
LEAD-UP Wellness Program that I am examined by a physician of my choice and
obtain his/her approval for my participation in the program. I have been given a medical
clearance form to be signed by my physician to authorize me to begin a supervised
walking program, in accordance to ACSM guidelines. Furthermore, within a twelve (12)
month period preceding the date of this release, I have not been advised by a physician or
other health care professional of any medical condition which would prevent me from
participating safely in a physical fitness or conditioning program. I will be given
instructions regarding the amount and type of exercise I should perform. I understand that
I am expected to follow my physician’s instructions with regard to any exercise and
fitness related programs. If I am taking prescribed medications, I have already so
informed the TWU LEAD-UP Wellness Program and further agree to inform the staff
of any changes which my physician or I have made with regard to use of any medications
or change in my medical status.
I have been informed that during my participation in the TWU LEAD-UP Wellness
Program, I will be allowed to engage in the available physical activities unless symptoms
such as fatigue, shortness of breath, chest discomfort or similar occurrences appear. At
that point, I have been advised that it is my complete right to decrease or stop exercise
and that it is my obligation to inform the staff of my symptoms. I hereby state that I have
been so advised and agree to inform the staff of my symptoms, should any develop.
I understand that during the performance of the wellness program or any other
assessments I consent to, physical touching and positioning of my body by the staff may
be necessary to assess my muscular and bodily reactions to specific exercises as well as
to ensure that I am using proper technique and body alignment. I expressly consent to the
physical contact for the stated reasons above.
Risks
It is my understanding and I have been informed that there exists the possibility during
exercise of adverse changes including, but not limited to, abnormal blood pressure,
fainting, physical dizziness, disorders of heart rhythm, and, less likely, heart attack,
stroke or even death. I further understand and have been informed that there exists the
risk of bodily injury including, but no limited to, injuries to the muscles, ligaments,
tendons and joints of the body. I have been advised that appropriate efforts will be made
to minimize these occurrences by proper assessments of my condition before each
session, staff supervision during exercise and by my own control of exercise efforts.

TWU LEAD-UP Wellness Program and I have received satisfactory answers to those
