“…Both parties should be questioned and specific answers confirmed because the source that provides the most accurate history is unclear. 16,17 Strength of Recommendation: C 3. Musculoskeletal injury is a common cause for restriction or disqualification of an athlete, so the medical history should attempt to detect any underlying condition that might predispose an athlete to injury.…”

“…49 Furthermore, parents and student-athletes may not provide reliable historical information on which to base participation decisions. 17 For example, unreliable information may be obtained regarding cardiovascular and musculoskeletal conditions, areas related to the mortality and morbidity associated with athletic activity. Therefore, the historical information provided by a minor or college-aged athlete should be reviewed directly with the athlete during the PPE and, when possible, confirmed with a parent or guardian.…”

“…96 A complete history will identify approximately 75% of the problems that affect athletes and could result in restriction from sport. 10,11,[17][18][19]25 If the athlete has reported a previous injury, the examining physician must inquire about the specific course of treatment and postinjury rehabilitation. This will aid the physician in determining the need for follow-up evaluation, rehabilitation, or restrictions.…”

Objective: To present athletic trainers with recommendations for the content and administration of the preparticipation physical examination (PPE) as well as considerations for determining safe participation in sports and identifying disqualifying conditions.Background: Preparticipation physical examinations have been used routinely for nearly 40 years. However, considerable debate exists as to their efficacy due to the lack of standardization in the process and the lack of conformity in the information that is gathered. With the continuing rise in sports participation at all levels and the growing number of reported cases of sudden death in organized athletics, the sports medicine community should consider adopting a standardized process for conducting the PPE to protect all parties.Recommendations: Recommendations are provided to equip the sports medicine community with the tools necessary to conduct the PPE as effectively and efficiently as possible using available scientific evidence and best practices. In addition, the recommendations will help clinicians identify those conditions that may threaten the health and safety of participants in organized sports, may require further evaluation and intervention, or may result in potential disqualification.

Although the following list is not comprehensive, it represents some of the most common challenges to the clinician during the PPE.…”

This commentary does not contain a discussion of an unapproved/ investigative use of a commercial product/device.Objectives After completing this article, readers should be able to:1. Perform a preparticipation history and physical examination and identify children and adolescents who may be at increased risk of morbidity or mortality from sports participation. 2. Recognize that many adolescents make infrequent contact with the medical system and that the mandatory preparticipation evaluation serves as an opportunity to address medical issues not necessarily associated with sports participation. 3. Know the conditions that should be evaluated by a cardiologist before sports participation. 4. Discuss the importance of assessing and documenting neurocognitive function in a preparticipation sports examination. 5. Understand that disqualification from one sport does not imply disqualification from all sports.
