What Is a Sports Physical?
A sports physical, also called a preparticipation physical exam (PPE), is a medical evaluation required by most schools and athletic leagues before a student can practice or compete. The exam checks that an athlete is healthy enough to safely participate and helps identify any conditions that could affect performance or increase injury risk.
What Does a Sports Physical Include?
Our providers follow standard preparticipation exam guidelines, covering:
• Review of medical and family health history
• Heart and lung evaluation
• Blood pressure and pulse check
• Vision screening
• Musculoskeletal assessment, including joints, muscles, and flexibility
• Review of prior injuries, concussions, or ongoing conditions
• Completion of school or league physical exam forms
