Sweat Test Liability Waiver
Please allow your athlete to read the waiver and sign with their full name before proceeding
Nobody likes legal stuff. Not even lawyers. But, we’ve got to ask you to sign a waiver before we start your Sweat Test. It's a long, boring document so we thought we’d highlight the key points for you in a language
normal people speak.
1. During the Sweat Test, we’ll place two electrodes on the inside of your forearm and send a 9V DC current through them to activate a gel disc that’ll stimulate your sweat glands. You might feel a slight tingling sensation. We’ve done thousands
of tests and nothing bad has ever happened. But, you never know, so we have to flag it.
2. If at any point you feel pain or burning, please tell your Sweat Test Officer to stop the test immediately.
3. If you have any current or prior health issues that you think may be important and relevant, please tell your Sweat Test Officer before they begin the test.
4. We’ll be collecting some personal data from you during your Sweat Test to help us personalise your hydration plan. This data will always remain confidential and secure. We might use the data for research purposes but, if we do, your personal
details will be anonymised.
5. You are undertaking the Sweat Test of your own free will (Or was it destiny? No, it’s definitely free will…). We’re in this together, we're trying to help you perform at your best and we’re conducting this test in good faith. We're not forcing
you to sign this waiver, because that would be very very mean but please understand that if you chose to not sign the waiver we are unable to conduct your Sweat Test.

I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE AFOREMENTIONED ACTIVITY AND I AM PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY ENTIRELY AT MY OWN RISK. I AM AWARE OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATING IN THIS ACTIVITY, WHICH MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO,

I understand that I will likely experience a slight tingle as a result of the current passing through my skin. I understand that this is normal and I should not be anxious about it. I understand that in exceedingly rare instances I might experience a slight burning sensation at the positive electrode. If I do, I will inform the testing technician immediately. I understand that they will terminate the test.
If, for any reason whatsoever during the test I feel anxious or uncomfortable and would like the test to stop I will inform the testing technician. I understand that they will terminate the test at my request.
I understand that if I have information about my health status or previous experiences with tests such as this that is important for the technician to know, I will fully disclose such information to the technician prior to the test initiation.
I understand that during the test the technician will collect a set of information from me. This will include my full name, gender, date of birth, height, weight and a set of questions associated with my sport and my training. This information,
along with my final test results and all associated recommendations, will be retained by PF&H in a secure location online. At no time will PF&H release, disseminate, sell or give this information to a commercial third-party.
I understand that PF&H reserves the right to use this information for research purposes both internally and in collaboration with verified and validated academic institutions. I understand that should PF&H use my information for research my identity will be anonymized.
