摘要
The preparticipation physical exam is a very important aspect for the care and safety of active and athletic individuals. Objectives of the evaluation include the discovery of conditions that may be life-threatening or disabling, that may limit participation, or that predispose to injury. The exam is not designed to exclude individuals from participation, but rather to assist athletes in safe participation. Although the preparticipation exam should not substitute for the individual's regular routine health care, it is often the only exposure many of these adolescents have to a physician, and therefore offers a unique opportunity for health care evaluation and screening.
