What is a sports physical?!


Question:

What is a sports physical?


Answers:

It's a basic, non-invasive physical to make sure you are fit enough to play sports. Your blood pressure will be measured, along with testing your eye sight, measuring your height and weight, and then the doctor will have you do some range of motion things to make sure your joints are in good shape. Males have to drop their pants, turn their heads and cough while the doctor squeezes the testicles to make sure there are no hernias (protrustions) or lumps in this area. He or she will also probably feel your abdomen, listen to your lungs and ask if you have any pain or discomfort in any areas of your body.
