Active lifestyles are important for children and teens, but physical activity comes with unique risks. Camp and sports physicals are designed to ensure that young people are healthy enough to participate safely in athletic or recreational activities. These exams are often required by schools, teams, or organizations to confirm fitness and reduce the risk of preventable injuries. By completing a physical before starting a season or program, families can feel confident that their child is ready to perform at their best.

What’s Included in a Camp or Sports Physical?
Sports physicals focus on health factors that could affect safe participation in physical activity. During the exam, patients can expect:
- Medical history review including past injuries, illnesses, and chronic conditions
- Height, weight, and vital sign measurements to establish a baseline for health and growth
- Heart and lung function assessment to evaluate cardiovascular and respiratory fitness
- Joint and muscle evaluation for strength, flexibility, and balance
- Vision screening to confirm children can see clearly for safe performance
- Discussion of injury prevention, nutrition, and safe training habits tailored to the child’s activity level
Once completed, proper documentation is provided to meet the requirements of schools, sports leagues, or camp programs.
The Benefits of Sports Physicals
Sports and camp physicals provide several important benefits:
- Confirm that children and teens are healthy enough for participation
- Identify potential risks for injury, illness, or underlying health concerns
- Provide parents with valuable information about their child’s health and fitness
- Offer guidance on safe participation, stretching, conditioning, and recovery
- Create a medical record that can support ongoing care and future physicals
By making sports physicals part of your child’s routine, you can help protect their safety while promoting healthy growth and development.
