The goal of evaluating amateur and professional athletes before sports participation is to ensure their health before competing in a particular sport. Many sports associations and leagues require a health examination and documentation of clinical findings to maximize safe participation by children, adolescents, and young adults and to identify medical problems with risks of life-threatening complications that limit or exclude them from play. Evaluation includes assessment of personal and family medical history, medications and supplements, review of systems, focused physical examination, and, occasionally, diagnostic testing. This activity reviews the fundamental components of the sports participation evaluation by the interprofessional team and how these evaluations can be optimized to ensure that athletes can engage in their chosen sport and limit serious risks and injuries.
