What happens during a sports medical check-up?
A sports medical check-up is a comprehensive examination that evaluates an athlete’s physical fitness to safely practice sports. During the check-up, several tests are conducted to identify possible pathologies and conditions that could pose a risk when engaging in intense physical activity.
This type of medical examination is not only essential for the athlete’s health, helping to prevent injuries and detect health problems that could worsen with exercise, but it also provides information on physical performance. For this reason, it is considered a crucial certification in sports medicine, especially for those who wish to participate in competitions or require a federation license.
