SPORT MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Over the past decades we have been startled by the sudden death of young athletes. As a result, within medical and sports circles the need for a thorough sports medical screening is increasingly emphasized.
If you want to start playing sports or if you want to fill out a certificate of suitability for a sports club, you will go through an extensive consultation.
The sports medical consultation consists in:
Filling in of a questionnaire
A clinical examination of heart, lungs and blood vessels
For everyone >14 years a rest electrocardiogram will be taken every two years.
For intensive athletes or if additional risk factors are discovered, the doctor may decide to refer you for a more extensive cardiological check-up.
In order to make things run a little smoother, we ask you to fill in and bring along the following questionnaire before the consultation.
