What Is Included in an Athletic Sports Examination

A sports physical helps determine whether an athlete is healthy enough to participate safely in physical activity. During the examination, Dr. Windsor and her team review medical history, evaluate overall health, and look for any conditions that may require additional attention before sports participation.

A typical athletic sports examination may include:

• Review of medical and family history
• Measurement of height, weight, and vital signs
• Vision screening when appropriate
• Heart and lung examination
• Musculoskeletal evaluation
• Assessment of strength, flexibility, and joint function
• Review of previous injuries or surgeries
• Completion of required school or athletic participation forms

Every evaluation is personalized to the athlete’s age, medical history, and level of competition.

ECG Cardiac Clearance for Added Peace of Mind

Doctor Housecalls also offers electrocardiograms, commonly known as ECGs, as part of the sports examination when cardiac clearance is recommended or requested.

An ECG records the heart’s electrical activity and can help identify certain heart rhythm abnormalities or underlying cardiac conditions that may require additional evaluation before participation in athletics. Including an ECG during a sports physical provides an extra layer of assessment for athletes with personal risk factors, a family history of heart disease, or participation requirements that include cardiac screening.

Dr. Windsor and her team interpret the ECG as part of the evaluation and discuss the results with the athlete and family. If additional testing or specialty care is appropriate, recommendations are provided to help ensure safe participation in sports.

Supporting Healthy Athletes Throughout the Season

Athletic participation places unique demands on the body. A comprehensive sports physical allows Dr. Windsor and her team to identify concerns before they become larger problems and helps athletes begin the season with confidence.

In addition to sports physicals, Doctor Housecalls evaluates common sports-related injuries and illnesses, including sprains, strains, minor fractures, dehydration, respiratory infections, skin conditions, and other medical concerns that may interfere with athletic performance.

The goal of Dr. Windsor and her team is to keep athletes healthy while providing convenient medical care that works with busy family schedules.
