What Is Checked?
Most physicals check your vitals, eye exam, child’s heart, lungs, abdomen, ears, nose and throat, cardiovascular system, flexibility, posture and joints, and collection of medical history discussing any past illnesses, surgeries or conditions like asthma or chest pains that might impact the ability to participate.
