Does Your Child Need a Sports Physical?

The Importance of a Sports Physical Exam

As dedicated pediatricians in Chattanooga, we encourage all children to join sports teams and participate in other physical activities to maintain good physical and mental health.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), children ages 6 to 17 should engage in at least one hour of moderate exercise each day. By signing your child up for a local or school sports team, you're helping to maintain their good health!

Our friendly staff is always here to answer any questions parents have about their children's well-being during their participation in sports and other physical activities. We can offer advice about seasonal allergies, sports-related injury prevention, flu and common cold prevention, along with tips on how to keep children hydrated and safe when engaging in indoor and outdoor sports activities.

Parents should bring release forms and other documents we need to sign, as many organizations require a doctor's consent before allowing children to participate in physical activities.
