Everyone knows the physical benefits of playing sports, particularly for children and teenagers. You’re also aware that sports are a great way to meet new friends and socialize. Before you go out and try out a new sport, you must first ensure that a doctor gives you the “go” signal by undergoing a sports physical first.
A Look at Sports Physicals
Known as a preparticipation physical examination in the sports medicine field, a sports physical helps a medical expert determine if a particular person, regardless of age, can participate in a particular sport safely. Most states even require kids and teens to undergo a sports physical before playing a game. Whether your state requires a physical or not, doctors highly recommend getting one.
