Sports Physical Exams and Physicals For School
A school and sports physical is an exam given to children and adolescents to assess their physical health and fitness. The exam includes a medical history review, height and weight measurement, blood pressure check, vision and hearing test, and a general physical examination. Your child’s doctor may also order some additional tests, depending on your child’s age, health, and family history.
The purpose of a school or sports physical is to make sure that your child is healthy and ready to participate in their chosen activity. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and voice any concerns you may have about your child’s health.

Most school and sports physical exams require a thorough history, documenting allergies, medications, prior & current health concerns, and family history. It is very important to tell the provider all aspects of your child’s medical history, especially if anyone in your family has been diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
