Preparation for health examination

BEFORE THE EXAMINATION

The health examination for a young athlete is a thorough analysis that requires the athlete’s and the doctor’s cooperation. We would like young athletes and their parents to study the health examination guide, recall the date of the previous health examination and fill in the questionnaire. On the day before the health examination, one can only engage in light physical activity although a day off would be preferable. The examination should be performed when you feel fit and healthy and there have not been any injuries recently. In case of an acute illness (fever, viruses and infections, coughing, rhinitis), at least two weeks must pass before the examination after you recover.

DAY OF THE EXAMINATION

No workout should be performed on the day of the examination to make sure that its results are valid and the most representative of the young athlete’s health.

It is important that the young athlete has a meal 1-2 hours before the examination and is sufficiently hydrated during the day. Do not drink coffee, strong tea or alcohol on the day of the examination; the latter must also be avoided the day before.

Please arrive at the facility for your health examination 15 minutes earlier to change and, if necessary, complete the questionnaire on site.

PLEASE TAKE THE FOLLOWING WITH YOU FOR THE EXAMINATION:

• An ID showing your personal ID code;
• Sports clothes and footwear;
• A “shower kit”;
• The completed questionnaire;
