Abstract

Objectives: The pre-participation physical examination (PPE) has become the standard of care for athletes of all ages. The PPE is generally intended to identify medical conditions that may affect safe and effective participation in organized sports. The aim of this study is to validate and to implement a standardized questionnaire in Turkish language, which might aid Turkish physicians during the PPE.
