Participation in intense physical activities, such as marathons and cycling races, can put significant strain on the body. Many international athletic events require proof that you have no underlying health conditions that could increase your risk. This is where a sports medical certificate comes in.
By filling out a medical screening questionnaire designed by our sports physicians, we can quickly identify any contraindications to participation, ultimately helping keep you safe. Additionally, in many countries — particularly in Italy and France — providing a valid medical certificate before participating in an athletic event is a legal requirement.
A certificate of fitness for sports must be issued by a licensed doctor. Most events, particularly French and Italian races, require the professional license number of the signing doctor on their event-specific certificate templates.
