What is a Sports Physical and Why is it Important?
Understanding the Sports Physical Exam
A sports physical, also known as a pre-participation physical examination, is designed to assess whether an individual is healthy enough to participate in sports. It helps identify any potential health risks, such as asthma or past injuries, that could impact performance or safety during physical activities.
Why Do You Need a Sports Physical to Participate in Sports?
Sports physicals are often required by schools and sports leagues to ensure the health and safety of participants. These exams can identify underlying conditions that might increase the risk of injury or illness during athletic activities, providing an opportunity to address them before starting the season. Learn more about other physical exams on our physicals page.
What to Expect During Your Sports Physical
During a sports physical, our healthcare providers will:
- Review Medical History: This includes family history, past injuries, and any existing medical conditions such as allergies or asthma.
- Conduct a Physical Examination: We assess vision, check joint flexibility, and evaluate general health to ensure you’re fit to play.
- Vital Signs Check: Measuring blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing.
- Discuss Health Concerns: If necessary, we provide recommendations or refer you to a specialist for further evaluation.
