| The increase in the number of participants in extreme sports events such as triathlons and marathons has led to a surge in the demand for sports pre-participation screening.
Recognising the importance of sports pre-participation screening, Changi Sports Medicine Centre (CSMC) has proactively initiated the development of the Athlete Medical Screening Packages.
These packages provide appropriate medical screening to exclude risk factors and are specially tailored for active individuals who participate in strenuous / extreme sports.
About the Packages
The Athlete Medical Screening Packages at Changi General Hospital draws from the multidisciplinary expertise of a range of experts including sports physicians, cardiologists and multiphasic screening physicians to obtain a balance of expert opinions.
The highlights of the pre-participation screenings are the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory components, particularly the 2D Echo test which can better detect and provide more details on any underlying heart conditions that can go undetected by a normal ECG.
The packages are for everyone, from the weekend warriors to professional athletes. They are also tailored to various age groups from young adolescent athletes and younger adults (aged between 15 to 35) to older adults of >35 years to screen for the most common conditions which may be a barrier to participating in vigorous sports or pose a danger when participating in vigorous sports. Individual tests may be included based on the risk profile of the individual. |
