The start of the school year is often accompanied by a return to sports activities. The pre-sport test is an opportunity to discuss the child's health and any symptoms.
The evaluation includes individual and family history and clinical examination. The doctor selects the tests according to the findings and the requirements of the activity.
Chest pain with exertion, unexplained fainting, disproportionate dyspnea, or a family history of sudden death should be reported.
Testing helps identify problems, but does not guarantee zero risk. The aim is to appropriately assess and encourage exercise.
The information is general and is not a substitute for medical evaluation. Do not change your treatment without instructions. For urgent symptoms call 112 or 166.
