Health and Medical Disclaimer

Not medical advice

MILO is a training app, not a healthcare provider. Nothing in MILO, from MILO or from your coach through MILO is medical advice, a diagnosis or treatment. Coaches are not doctors or physical therapists, unless they tell you otherwise, and even then MILO is not providing care. Numbers MILO works out, such as estimated maxes and percentage loads, are estimates.

Check with a doctor first if

• you have, or have had, a heart condition, chest pain, fainting or dizziness during exercise, or high blood pressure;
• a family member died suddenly of a heart problem before age 50;
• you have diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, or any other condition that affects exercise;
• you have a recent injury, concussion, surgery or illness, or a bone, joint or back problem that exercise could make worse;
• you are pregnant or have recently given birth;
• you take medicine that affects your heart rate, blood pressure or balance;
• a doctor has ever told you to limit exercise.

What I confirm

• I know of no medical reason I shouldn't train, or a doctor has cleared me to train.
• I will tell my coach about injuries or conditions that affect my training, and when they change. (MILO doesn't ask for your medical history. Share only what your coach needs to program safely.)
• I will get medical advice if I'm unsure whether I should train.

Stop and get help if

Stop training straight away and get medical help if you have chest pain or pressure, severe shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, a racing or irregular heartbeat, sudden severe pain, numbness or weakness, a head injury, or very dark urine with severe muscle pain or swelling after hard training.

Pain flags and notes

Logging pain or writing a note in MILO tells your coach the next time they check. Nobody watches MILO in real time, and it is not an emergency or medical service. In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.

Athletes under 18

If the athlete is under 18, I am their parent or legal guardian and I confirm the above for them.
