Dr. Laura Water, a pediatrician with Mercy Springfield. She talks with KOLR10 Daybreak abut why these exams are so imports and not for athletes - and what to expect.

"A physician examining athletes in junior and senior high schools must use good judgment in deciding whether or not to restrict a student from competition", Waters says.

There are three major considerations for restricting persons from participation in athletics.

Is there an injury, illness or condition which prevents the individual from competing fairly with normal persons?

Is there an injury, illness or condition which might be aggravated by athletic competition?

Does this injury, illness or condition place that athlete or another athlete at harm?

These are relative and circumstances alter decisions. It is the examining physician's responsibility to determine qualification and disqualification for participation."
