Well (at least for the US) they check your heart, blood pressure, eye sight, reflexes, ear cannal, weight, and height. They also check your abdomen for anything abnormal, testicles/scrotum, and look for hernias. They also ask you simple questiosn like if you smoke, if you wear a helmet when you ride a bike, if you wear a seat belt, etc. I am not really sure what else they do, but that is the basics of it.

If you are worried about it, there is nothing really to be worried about. You basically just sit there while they parade around you and check a bunch of stuff. Especially if you are scared/worried about the scrotum/testicle check, dont be! it only lasts about 30 seconds, and it is over.

Do you have a physical coming up?

Here in the u.k its not a required check up, Although i think it is but there just risking peoples health to save on cash. If you want a check up you can ring your local Gp and book your self in for a medical check up

I went for a medical/physical check up when i started boxing so i could compete in contests and got charged £25Quid =/

Checks included was. piss test. testicle check , Ears, back, height. weight no blood test were taken but i filled out a form with my family's health history and mine either way i felt it was unnecessary to charge me £25Quid for poxy medical test but its always nice to be reassured

Well, here in NY, they just have u get in ur boxers/briefs/ w/e u wear, check blood pressure, bend over to touch your toes so they can check your spine, and they check for hernias..so they will ask you to pull ur boxers down, dont worry bout getting excited, it happens :D

Wonder.

I live in the US and all they do is measure my height and make me pee in a cup.
