Sports Physicals at The Children's Center of Corpus Christi

At The Children's Center of Corpus Christi, we understand the importance of ensuring that young athletes are healthy and ready to participate in sports. Our sports physicals, also known as pre-participation physical examinations (PPE), are designed to assess a child's physical fitness and identify any potential health risks before they engage in athletic activities.



What to Expect During a Sports Physical

A sports physical at our clinic includes:

  • Medical History Review: We'll review your child's medical history, including past injuries, illnesses, and any current medications.
  • Physical Examination: Our pediatricians will perform a thorough physical exam, assessing your child's overall health, strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness.
  • Vision and Hearing Tests: We'll check your child's vision and hearing to ensure they meet the requirements for safe participation in sports.
  • Orthopedic Screening: We'll evaluate your child's musculoskeletal health, checking for any issues that could affect their ability to play sports.
  • Risk Assessment: We'll identify any potential risks for injury or health concerns that may need further evaluation or management.


Importance of Sports Physicals

Sports physicals are crucial for several reasons:

  • Safety: Ensuring that your child is physically able to participate in sports safely.
  • Prevention: Identifying any health issues that could be aggravated by athletic activity.
  • Performance: Providing recommendations to help your child perform their best in sports.


When to Schedule a Sports Physical

It's best to schedule a sports physical at least six weeks before the start of the sports season. This allows time for any necessary follow-up appointments or treatments.
