We argue that current evaluation paradigms inadequately capture the uncertainty-intensive nature of athlete cardiovascular assessment and propose the text-proxy paradigm, a governance-oriented framework in which LLMs operate as semantic integration layers that process clinician-verified and structured outputs generated by validated upstream systems rather than directly interpreting physiological signals.
