By Janine Hughes


Those of us who've made some sudden desperate declaration to get in bikini shape this year by hitting the gym had better get themselves checked out to be sure the old body is ready first. No one wants to end up laid up because of trying to tighten one's behind for summertime. To get that checkup, it's a good idea check the locations for sports physicals Mobile AL has available.

This might be the way to go if one has been pretty much sedentary for the past several years or longer, and of course no few of these live right here in Mobile AL. The trouble is that unused muscles and organs don't get stronger from never having once been exerted in the twenty-five years. It might be a good idea to check to see if everything is in good working order after all that time on the living room couch.

On the other end of the timeline is a regular stream of youngsters just deciding to enter into organized sports. Each one of them is going to score the winning touchdown in the Iron Bowl some day, but first it is wisest to check that they, too, are in peak condition for the rigors of competition. One cannot assume that youth alone indicates fitness for organized sports.

Obviously, any one with a recent history of any debilitating illness or attack already ought to be seeing the doctor regularly. This group of people includes those who've been hospitalized within the past couple of years, but also anyone whose blood pressure runs high. Therefore it should go without saying that these men and women should get checked up before taking up an exercise regime.

The general physical starts with a list of questions that will ferret out any preliminary information. Such issues include basics like an emergency contact number, hospitalization history, and whether one is taking any medications. The doctor or clinic will also want to know about immunization history and family history.

The physical examination is what most people think about when they imagine a sports physical. It's the part where one has the cold stethoscope put to the chest and coughs, the part where the doctor whacks you on the knee with a mallet. It's the examination in which it is really found out whether one is fit enough for the exercise program, or whether it's best to scale back from rugby to golf.

The exam will inquire into whether there might be a heart murmur, or whether the blood pressure might have moved from high to dangerous. The circulatory system needs to be sound generally. This is especially so on the eve of intended, sudden physical exertion.

The examination will include the vision test and hearing test, so it is at this point that young baseball players learn they need glasses. There are tests of reflexes. This is what the hammer to the knee is all about. If there turns out to be any problem, clinics are equipped with equipment including EKG machines and urinalysis stations.
