Checks for organomegaly (enlarged liver or spleen). An enlarged spleen, often caused by mononucleosis, puts an athlete at severe risk for splenic rupture during contact sports. 4. Musculoskeletal and Hernia Screening
One key aspect of Fulton's approach is his emphasis on functional movement patterns. Rather than relying solely on isolated strength tests or range-of-motion assessments, he evaluates athletes' ability to perform complex movements that mimic the demands of their sport. This approach allows for a more holistic understanding of an athlete's capabilities and identifies potential weaknesses that may not be apparent through traditional examination methods.
2. Advanced Musculoskeletal (MSK) and Biomechanical Assessment
Whether conducted in a local clinic or a high-performance training center, the physical examination is an essential safeguard. It ensures that the "jock" identity—defined by strength, speed, and resilience—is built upon a foundation of genuine health. By prioritizing these evaluations, sports organizations protect their most valuable assets: the athletes themselves.
