Sports physicals help confirm that athletes of all ages are ready to participate safely. Also called a pre-participation exam, a sports physical reviews overall health and looks for concerns that could affect training or competition.
Why Sports Physicals Matter
Sports physicals are important because they:
- Identify conditions that may limit safe participation
- Reduce the risk of injury
- Provide personalized guidance to improve performance and recovery
- Meet school or league requirements
Who Needs a Sports Physical?
Most schools and youth leagues require a sports physical every year before practices or games begin. College athletes and adults who play in recreational leagues also benefit from an annual check, and anyone returning from an injury should be evaluated before resuming full activity.
How to Prepare
For a smoother visit, bring any required forms, a list of medications, immunization records, and glasses or contacts if you use them. Scheduling the exam four to six weeks before the season begins allows time to address any concerns that may arise.
