The medical evaluation required for all those who intend to initiate or continue practising any sports activity, whether leisure or competition practitioners, depends on the athlete’s health overall condition, history of disease and injuries, and the type of activity involved. The Sports Medicine Center of Hospital da Luz Arrábida offers different sports medical check-up programmes, depending on the needs of every athlete. The purpose of the medical evaluation is not merely to check if there is any problem impeding or advising against the practise of a particular modality. It is also important to identify and prevent situations that might increase the risk of injury, detect diseases that might interfere with sports performance, and diagnose as early as possible potentially severe health problems, in particular those that could aggravate with the effort associated with sports practise. The check-ups available at Hospital da Luz Arrábida can be adapted to all kind of sports practitioners: Schedule your appointments on MY LUZ or at hospitaldaluz.pt/arrabida .
