The Importance of School/Sports Physicals

A school or sports physical, sometimes called a pre-participation exam (PPE), is a routine health check that helps ensure a child or teen is in good condition to attend school or safely take part in physical activities. These physicals are often required by school districts, sports leagues, and athletic programs to protect the health of students and athletes. The goal of the physical is to identify any potential health issues that may affect a child’s ability to learn or participate in activities safely. It also provides an opportunity to update immunizations and review developmental milestones.
