Sports Physical vs. Normal/full physical?

[BoyTeen1997]

What is the difference between a Sports Physical and a normal (full) yearly physical? Like what is normally done during a Sports physical? What is normally done during a Yearly Physical? Is it normal for a doc to do a prostate exam on a guy that is 14/15 and older because i have read on here that some people do and some people have not

[Idk what to put]

It all depends the first time I went for a supports and yearly all in one and they checked my testicles and the next they just asked the last time they didn't at even ask

I could be wrong on this one, but I believe:
Sports physical = school required to make sure your are healthy enough to participate in school sports. Generally its just a quick reflex/movement test such as eye movement, reaction, and movement like crab walk, as well as heart rate/blood pressure baseline testing.
Full physical = Complete assesment of general health, including checking for testicular cancer and STDs. Includes everything in sports physical.
As far as I know there are no prostate exams during physicals, those are generally for older men to check for prostate cancer.

I usually get them at teh same time, but a sports physical usually isn't as long as a regular one ...Like IAMWILL said not as complete as a full one....

This is exactly right

Well apparently I'm going to find out in about a week since i need one for the new school I'm going to and I'll be playing sports as well.

i think they are pretty much the same. maybe a sports physical is a little more thorough but with either one they have to check pretty much the same thigns.
