Sports Physicals are essential evaluations for both kids and adults, ensuring individuals are fit for sports participation. These exams assess overall health, check for any medical conditions that could impact performance, and offer advice on injury prevention. A thorough evaluation includes reviewing medical history, conducting a physical examination, and performing necessary screenings to ensure both children and adults are prepared for safe, active participation in sports.
During a Sports Physical, healthcare providers review the athlete’s medical history, including past injuries, chronic conditions, and family health concerns. A physical exam follows, assessing vital signs, joint mobility, strength, and overall fitness. For children, growth and development are also considered. These evaluations ensure individuals of all ages, from kids to adults, can safely participate in sports. If any health issues are detected, recommendations or treatment plans are provided.
