Pre-participation sports physicals and heart ECGs reduce sports-related deaths in student athletes.
Every year, an estimated 100+ student athletes die from sudden sports related injuries.
Receiving an annual PPE and ECG is highly recommended by the National Athletic Trainer’s Association (
NATA), American Heart Association, and American Academy of Pediatricians to help detect possible health risks or problems that may cause a sudden deadly cardiac episode or other major health issues while students are playing on a field or court.
An added incentive was given to the youths who received a sports physical at the health fair… each one received a voucher for a free hockey ticket to the Wranglers opening home game on Saturday, October 19.
