What is a Sports Physical?
A sports physical consists of two parts: a medical history evaluation and a physical examination. During the medical history evaluation, the doctor will ask questions about the individual's general health, past injuries, and current medications. The physical exam may include tests such as blood pressure, heart rate, vision acuity, flexibility assessment, and joint stability testing. The purpose of a sports physical is to identify any potential health issues that could affect an individual's participation in sports and to provide personalized recommendations for injury prevention and performance improvement.
