The benefits of athleticism for young people

Child Trends asserts that student athletes report healthier eating habits, show a higher level of cardiovascular fitness, and work within team and social settings at a higher level than those who don’t engage in sports or other extracurricular activities. These are just some of the reasons why it is a great choice to get your child involved in a sport.

Why a sport physical is a must

Whether your child plans on playing football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, hockey or anything in between, it’s important for them to undergo a physical examination by a specialist. A physical is performed paying special attention to the well-being and safety of your child during any sort or physical activity.


While not all sports are created equal and some are much more physically taxing than others, they all should still be preempted with a physical. This will help you understand possible problems that could face your child and ensure that they are healthy and safe throughout their sporting years.
