The health history of a sports physical includes:

• Allergies
• Episodes of dizziness or collapse during activity
• Family history of serious illnesses
• History of asthma
• History of excessive weight loss or gain
• History of past conditions such as heat illness, concussions and fractures
• Menstrual history
• Status of immunizations, particularly tetanus
• Use of contact lenses or dental appliances
• Use of dietary supplements, drugs, alcohol, and/or performance-enhancing drugs, such as steroids

The focus of the physical exam will be on the evaluation of different body parts and characteristics, including:

• Abdomen
• Blood pressure
• Genitals
• Heart (This is done to look for conditions such as irregular heartbeat [arrhythmia] and murmurs).
• Height and weight
• Lungs
• Vision

Is A Sports Physical Covered By Insurance?

Most insurance plans cover one physical per year. It is important to note that a school or sports physical is not the same as an annual physical. Before coming in for your physical, check with your insurance provider to see what is included in your policy.
