FAQs
What Is a Sports Physical?
Most schools require students participating in school sports to undergo a sports physical. Also known as a pre-participation physical examination (PPE), this important exam helps to verify that your child is in good health and free of any medical concerns that could make sports participation unsafe.
In addition to screening for any health concerns, a sports physical helps to ensure that any existing health problems (such as asthma) are well-managed.
What Does a Sports Physical Consist Of?
School sports physicals at ClearChoiceMD are both convenient and comprehensive.
Our experienced providers will discuss your child’s medical history. You can expect questions about previous hospitalizations or surgeries, chronic medical problems (i.e., asthma or diabetes), past injuries, and current medications.
During the physical exam component, a provider will typically check your child’s height and weight, vital signs (i.e., blood pressure and pulse), and vision. The provider will also assess your child’s heart, lungs, muscles, and joints. Our goal is to ensure your child is in good health and safe to participate in their chosen sport.
It is important to know that a sports physical is not a substitute for the regular well-child visits your child should have with their primary care provider.
What If There Is a Problem?
It is rare for a child to be disqualified from participating in their sport. In most cases, athletes have a normal exam and are cleared for participation by the provider. If a health concern is found, your child may simply need medication, additional testing, or a course of recommended treatment to safely participate in sports.
