Sports Health Screening Package
As community interest in sports continues to grow, more and more individuals are engaging in physical activities to improve their health. However, not everyone is aware that high-intensity exercise may carry hidden health risks, especially related to cardiovascular health—the leading cause of sudden death during sports, even in young, seemingly healthy individuals without prior symptoms. Early screening, especially for the heart, helps individuals understand their health status and significantly reduce the risks associated with intense physical activity.
1. WHY SPORTS SCREENING IS IMPORTANT
Timely screening – detect early, prevent risks
Certain conditions such as arrhythmias, hypertension, high cholesterol, or uncontrolled diabetes often develop silently, with no obvious symptoms. However, during high-intensity exercise, these issues can be triggered into serious events, such as arterial plaque rupture or dangerous heart rhythm disturbances.
Cardiovascular incidents often occur at two key times:
- When resuming training after a long period of inactivity
- When increasing exercise intensity (e.g., from light to intense training, or from casual to competitive sports)
- That’s why screening should be done before starting or intensifying physical training, to ensure safety during exercise.
2. WHO SHOULD GET THIS SCREENING?
This package is ideal for:
- Professional or recreational athletes, especially in high-intensity sports such as marathon, gym, swimming, cycling, tennis, etc.
- Individuals returning to exercise after a long sedentary period
- Adults over 35 starting sports for health or amateur competition
- Those with a history of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia
- Anyone with a family history of sudden cardiac death, especially during physical activity, or a family history of early stroke/heart attack (men < 55, women < 65)
