5. TEST RESULTS ARE ESTIMATES
I understand and acknowledge that results produced through DXA, VO₂ max, RMR, Fit3D, grip-strength testing, and other assessments are measurements and estimates and are not guaranteed to be perfectly accurate.
Results may be influenced by factors including, but not limited to:

recent food or fluid intake;
recent exercise;
time of day;
clothing;
body positioning;
technician technique;
equipment calibration;
software algorithms;
environmental conditions;
normal biological variation;
medications;
medical conditions; and
differences between equipment or testing methods.
I understand that no testing method is completely error-free.
Results from DexaFit Columbus may differ from results obtained through another facility, machine, testing method, technician, or date of testing.

Results represent information obtained at a particular point in time and may change as my body, fitness, health, or circumstances change.
6. RESPONSIBILITY FOR USE OF RESULTS

I understand that DexaFit Columbus does not perform comprehensive medical screening or provide medical clearance.
If I have concerns about whether I should participate, I am responsible for consulting my physician before testing.
I voluntarily choose to participate with or without prior physician approval and assume responsibility for that decision.

Testing may require me to exercise at or near my maximum physical capacity.

The test may be stopped at any time because of:

abnormal responses;
safety concerns;
equipment concerns;
symptoms I report;

I understand that a physician will NOT be present on-site during my testing.
I am responsible for consulting my physician before participating if I have concerns about my health or ability to safely complete the test.
