Our physicians check whether you can exercise safely by carrying out a sports medical examination. It’s indicated for both men and women who practice sport on a regular basis and seek to control their locomotor and cardiovascular system.
The devastating impact of Cardiac Arrest (CA) or Sudden Death (SD) in athletes has shocked societies and sports spectators all over the world. We provide medical screening and examination by professionals as a series of medical tests or examinations conducted by a health professional, such as a sports physician or physiotherapist, often performed annually as part of a check up or used prior to recruitment or employment of an athlete.
The primary aim of the PPE as performed in other countries would appear to be the detection of cardiovascular abnormalities to prevent sudden death among young athletes. The Australian medical screening program has a broader perspective and is aimed at improving the health of the athlete. The medical screening of these high performance athletes has a number of aims:
1. Prevent Sudden Death
2. Ensure Optimal Medical Health (asthma, diabetes, menstrual, depression)
3. Ensure Optimal Musculoskeletal Health
4. Optimize Performance (Nutrition, Psychology, Biomechanics)
5. Prevent Injury
6. Review Medications and Vaccinations
7. Collect Baseline Data (Blood Tests, Neuropsychological Testing in Contact Sports)
8. Develop Professional Relationship with Athlete
9. Educate
Early recognition of risks and diseases is possible. It is perfectly clear that this can contribute towards a considerable reduction in health risk, particularly of sudden cardiac death.
• family history is medical condition
• player medical history
• current complaints and symptoms
• current medication and vaccination
12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and an echocardiography, and if indicated conducted during exercise.
Athletes require a strong foundation in a diverse range of athletic qualities in order to tolerate the progressively advanced training loads and competitive demands of their chosen sport. The Functional Movement Scale (FMS™) by Cook is by far the most popular screening tool used to provide an objective assessment of movement in sports performance research and is typically synonymous with the term “Functional Movement".
If required based on the above examinations.
A routine physical examination conducted by the doctor, such as blood pressure, heart and chest sounds, reflexes
A blood count and urine test is mandatory, with a range of other tests recommended.
There are mandatory inspection and functional examination tests of the spinal column, shoulder, hip, knee, lower leg, ankle and foot. Other tests that are recommended are range of motion tests, muscle balance and muscle strength (one-leg hop).
The aim of musculoskeletal screening is to assess recovery from any previous injury and to assess the presence of proven (very few) or suspected risk factors for future injury. Athletes involved in sports associated with high risk of specific joint or muscle injuries, such as, swimmers’ shoulders and pitchers’ elbows, should have specific assessments performed on these areas.

Individualized report
A medical exam is a must for all professional athletes. Given its importance and complexity, a thorough initial pre-competition assessment should be carried out by a multidisciplinary team of health professionals. A correct health examination will optimize the athlete’s performance and reduce the risk of injuries, Cardiac Arrest or Sudden Death.
