What’s Included in a Camp or Sports Physical Exam?

Physicals ensure athletes and campers are ready for safe participation in sports and physical activity. Our providers check key health markers, assess fitness levels, and review medical history to help prevent potential health complications. Our comprehensive evaluation includes:

 

  • Vitals Check: We’ll measure the athlete’s height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate to assess overall health.

     

  • Vision Screening: A quick eye test ensures athletes meet the necessary vision standards for their sport.

     

  • Flexibility & Joint Health Exam: We evaluate the joints and their mobility, as well as overall flexibility, to identify potential injury risks.

     

  • Medical History Review: We assess past illnesses, injuries, or conditions (like asthma or prior sprains) to help us make the best recommendations.

     

  • Fitness Assessment: Our providers examine the ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, and abdomen to assess cardiovascular and respiratory health. This helps determine if we should recommend any activity limitations.

Physicals Provided for Every Age & Activity

Not all physicals are the same. We understand different groups have different needs, which is why we offer physicals for athletes, campers, and beyond.

For Athletes

We provide clearance for middle school, high school, and college athletes, including those in:

  • School sports programs
  • Clubs and travel teams
  • Intramural and recreational leagues

For Campers

What to Bring to Your Physical Exam for Sports or Camp

To ensure your visit is efficient and smooth, please bring the following items to your or your child’s physical at UH Urgent Care:

  • School, league, or camp physical forms.
    • These must be completed in full before registration.
  • Your or your child’s glasses or contact lenses if they are required for the vision test.
  • Photo ID (if required by your school or organization).
