Important reasons for conducting Sports physicals
Sports physicals are key to ensuring that a child can safely and legally participate in most recreational activities. But did you know that a sport physical can also help children improve their overall health in the following ways?
• Ensure kids safe participation in sports activities
• Diagnose heart conditions or any life-threatening conditions
• Diagnose recent concussions or any other conditions that can inhibit participation in sports activities.
• Diagnose conditions such as eating disorders or lung conditions or blood pressure so the doctors can put them on a care plan.
• Diagnose and rehabilitate old musculoskeletal injuries.
• Discuss and diagnose nutritional issues, stopping any alcohol or drugs that can hinder children’s participation in sports activities.
A physical exam on a regular basis is an important practice for children and adults of all ages. But a routine physical holds higher significance for students who participate in sports activities. This allows coaches, athletic personnel, and other staff to protect the children from any illnesses or any conditions that may hinder the child’s participation in sports.
