WHAT: Healthcare providers representing 10 different Flagstaff organizations will be conducting Sports Physicals for athletes required to fulfill an annual pre-participation physical evaluation for the 2012 – 2013 school year. There is a $10 charge for each physical. All proceeds will be donated to community athletic organizations.
While athletes (and their parents) wait for their physical they will be able to partake in the “Infotainment” at our Fitness Health Fair. This information will be offered in conjunction with physicals to increase health awareness through materials, demonstrations and education to young athletes and parents. Activities at the fitness health fair will include:
Concussion Care Information and Baseline Testing Sign-up. The Concussion Care Program focuses on educating parents, coaches and athletes of the importance of seeking care when a concussion is suspected. It is recommended that all athletes in a high impact sport complete a baseline test that can be used to compare post-injury test results to if the athlete experiences a concussion. It is recommended that the athletes in the following sports receive ImPACT baseline testing: Football, Cheer, Rugby, Soccer, Hockey and Wrestling. Parents and athletes can visit the Concussion Care Booth at the Fitness Health Fair to sign up for baseline testing on Saturday, August 4, 2012.
Vaccination Counseling. We can check immunizations on the state data base, update your immunization care, provide information on childhood and adolescent immunizations and assist you with scheduling vaccination appointments if needed. (Bring your Immunization Card)
Proper MouthGuard Protection: Education on the importance of mouthguards will be provided.
There will also be information on Skin Protection, Skin Care, Sports Nutrition as well as a Healthy Bake Sale.
