Sports Physicals, also called Pre-Participation Physical Examinations (PPE), evaluate an individual's fitness to safely participate in sports and athletic activities. While most commonly associated with school athletics, sports physicals are also important for adult recreational athletes and corporate wellness sports programs.

The examination focuses on cardiovascular screening, musculoskeletal assessment, and review of medical history for conditions that could affect athletic participation. The goal is to identify conditions that might predispose to injury or sudden cardiac events.
