pre-participation physical examinations
The benefits of sports participation are clear . . .they inspire healthy lifestyles and build character and leadership abilities. A pre-participation physical exam (PPE) is an important tool to ensure the safe participation of student-athletes. The PPE should include a complete medical history and a physical exam. The medical history should include a review of past injuries, illnesses and surgeries, medication usage, drug allergies, asthma and seasonal allergies. The physical exam should include a check of height, weight, vision, heart rate and blood pressure. The extent of the examination of the head, ears, nose, throat, lungs, cardiovascular system, abdomen and musculoskeletal systems varies, depending on the sport. |

If a medical condition is identified during the PPE, the medical
practitioner (physician, nurse, or physician’s assistant) must determine if
the condition places the student-athlete at an increased risk for injury. If
the practitioner determines that the condition does place the student at an
increased risk, participation in the sport may be limited and/or denied. If
participation is denied, recommendations for correction prior to
participation should be communicated and a follow-up exam should be
scheduled. If an illness or condition is resolved prior to the sport season,
the student-athlete is normally allowed to participate. Good nutrition is an integral part of athletic performance. More and more high school athletes are educating themselves on the impact of diet on athletic performance. |

Without proper treatment or acknowledgement, teenage depression can become a very serious condition. For many teens, depression can have a negative effect on their school performance and social activities.
The low carbohydrate diet is not normally recommended for athletes or active people because low carbohydrate intake can deprive the body of extra energy or make people too tired to exercise.
