Learn more about the importance of these physicals — and athletic activity in general — below.

Child Trends asserts that student athletes report healthier eating habits, show a higher level of cardiovascular fitness, and work within team and social settings at a higher level than those who don’t engage in sports or other extracurricular activities. These are just some of the reasons why it is a great choice to get your child involved in a sport.


Why a sport physical is a must

Whether your child plans on playing football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, hockey or anything in between, it’s important for them to undergo a physical examination by a specialist. A physical is performed paying special attention to the well-being and safety of your child during any sort or physical activity.


While not all sports are created equal and some are much more physically taxing than others, they all should still be preempted with a physical. This will help you understand possible problems that could face your child and ensure that they are healthy and safe throughout their sporting years.

What Is a Sports Physical?

A sports physical, also known as a Pre-Participation Physical Examination (PPE), is a medical evaluation that determines whether it’s safe for an athlete to participate in sports. It’s often required by schools, athletic programs, and leagues before the start of a season.

Dr. Smith explains, “A sports physical isn’t just a formality—it’s a proactive step to identify potential risks and optimize performance.”



What to Expect During the Exam

Dr. Smith’s sports physicals are thorough, efficient, and athlete-focused. The exam typically includes:

  • Medical history review (including past injuries, surgeries, and family health)
  • Vital signs check (heart rate, blood pressure, etc.)
  • Musculoskeletal screening (joint flexibility, strength, posture, and alignment)
  • Neurological and cardiovascular assessment
  • Injury prevention tips and performance recommendations

If any concerns are identified, Dr. Smith can provide follow-up care or refer to a specialist as needed.


Who Needs a Sports Physical?

  • Student-athletes (middle school, high school, and college)
  • Club and recreational athletes
  • Adults returning to competitive or recreational sports
  • Athletes recovering from injury or surgery
