It is becoming increasingly frequent and close to us to hear about cases of sports practitioners suddenly passing away. But how can we prevent and even minimize such a situation? Through consultations with specialized professionals and specific exams.<\/p>\n

As soon as I started practicing sports more regularly, I noticed the need and importance of having better health monitoring. This began with the encouragement of my Physical Trainer, followed by my Cycling Coach, then my Nutritionist, and today involves my entire multidisciplinary team.<\/p>\n

\"Importance
\nMy nutritionist also requests exams for a better evaluation of my health<\/span> <\/p>\n

Based on their recommendations and accompanied by my trusted doctor, we routinely carry out a check-up with a battery of exams. Some are done at key moments of the season, such as during the base training period, as well as at peak performance times. This way, the professionals who monitor me have a broader view of how my body behaves at different moments.<\/p>\n

Laboratory exams, such as blood and urine tests, are very comprehensive and provide a good idea of your health status. Depending on the results, these may trigger complementary exams for a more precise diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Another common type of exam for those who practice physical activities is the stress test and the electrocardiogram. In these, cardiovascular capacity and condition are evaluated both at rest and under exertion (usually performed on a treadmill) close to your limit.<\/p>\n

In addition, imaging exams, such as abdominal and heart ultrasound, are also recommended to be performed periodically.<\/p>\n

Of course, this check-up, as we call this combination of exams, is not only indicated for those who practice sports, but should be carried out by everyone. Yes, those who have a more intense activity habit, like me, who compete in high-performance Mountain Bike competitions, are more likely to get injured or be exposed to a more delicate physiological condition.<\/p>\n

Can I give you a tip? Talk to your family doctor and request a complete check-up with a battery of exams to monitor your health.<\/strong><\/p>\n
