Abstract

Practicing sports at a professional level requires the body to be in good health. The fact of carrying out a continuous and high intensity physical activity in the presence of pathological conditions and/or a maladaptation of the body can be detrimental to the athletes’ health and, therefore, to their performance. Many of the problems that arise in the sports field could be prevented with a periodic and well-structured medical assessment. In this review, we describe the protocol of the medical service of a high-level sports club for the assessment of its professional athletes.

Resumen

La práctica del deporte a nivel profesional exige al organismo un buen estado de salud. El hecho de realizar una actividad física de alta intensidad de forma continuada con la presencia de situaciones patológicas y/o una mala adaptación del organismo puede ser perjudicial para la salud del deportista y, por consiguiente, para el rendimiento. Muchos de los problemas que aparecen en el terreno deportivo se podrían prevenir con una evaluación médica periódica y bien estructurada. En esta revisión presentamos el protocolo del servicio médico de un club deportivo de alto nivel para la evaluación de sus deportistas profesionales.
