You already know that playing sports helps keep you fit. You also know that sports are a fun way to socialize and meet people. But you might not know why the physical you may have to take at the beginning of your sports season is so important.

What Is a Sports Physical?

In the sports medicine field, the sports physical exam is known as a preparticipation physical examination (PPE). The exam helps determine whether it's safe for you to participate in a particular sport. Texas requires that kids and teens have a sports physical before they can start a new sport or begin a new competitive season. But even if a PPE isn't required, Dr. Marr still highly recommend getting one.

Why Is a Sports Physical Important?

A sports physical can help you find out about and deal with health problems that might interfere with your participation in a sport. For example, if you have frequent asthma attacks but are a starting forward in soccer, a doctor might be able to prescribe a different type of inhaler or adjust the dosage so that you can breathe more easily when you run.

Dr. Marr has many good training tips and is able to give you some ideas for avoiding injuries. For example, Dr. Marr recommends specific exercises, like certain stretching or strengthening activities, that help prevent injuries. Dr. Marr also can identify risk factors that are linked to specific sports. Advice like this will make you a better, stronger athlete.

The sports physical focuses on your well-being as it relates to playing a sport. It's more limited than a regular physical, but it's a lot more specific about athletic issues.

Even if your sports physical exam doesn't reveal any problems, it's always wise to monitor yourself when you play sports. If you notice changes in your physical condition - even if you think they're small, such as muscle pain or shortness of breath - be sure to mention them to a parent or coach. You should also inform your phys-ed teacher or coach if your health needs have changed in any way or if you're taking a new medication.

Just as professional sports stars need medical care to keep them playing their best, so do teenage athletes. You can give yourself the same edge as the pros by making sure you have your sports physical.
