What it involves

At Centre Revisions La Seu we carry out medical examinations aimed at assessing an athlete's state of health and confirming that they are in a condition to take part in their sport safely.

We see licensed and amateur athletes, club and team players, cyclists, and people who need to prove their fitness for the physical tests in public sector selection processes. The examination is not only a formality to obtain a document: it is also a preventive measure to understand your health better.

When do you need this medical?

A sports medical is an assessment of your health in relation to the physical activity or sport you take part in. If the result is favourable, the doctor issues a fitness certificate for sporting activity.

Applying for or renewing a sports federation licence.
Joining a sports club or team.
Taking part in a competition, race or sporting event.
Enrolling in a sports school or activity.
Sitting the physical tests of a public exam or selection process.
Starting a new sport, or returning to sport after a period of inactivity.
Meeting the requirements set by a federation, club, event organiser, school or public body.
Checking your general state of health before taking up physical exercise.

Requirements vary depending on the sport, the athlete's age, the type of competition, the federation, or the rules of the selection process. That is why it helps to tell us from the outset what you need the certificate for.

What we carry out sports medicals for

The service covers four different situations. When you book, tell us which one applies to you, because both the examination and the certificate are adapted to the specific purpose.

Football and futsal

FCF licence · 2 seasons

We issue an individual certificate stating explicitly whether the player is fit to take part, with the details, medical registration number and signature of the doctor responsible. It is valid for Federació Catalana de Futbol licences, and there is no need to have the examination at a specific approved centre or one from a closed list. Once issued, it is the club that uploads it to the licence management system.

Cycling and mass events

licences, rides and races

We see licensed and amateur cyclists, as well as people taking part in cycling tours, road races and other events that require proof of physical fitness. The examination takes into account your age, medical history, training level and the intensity of the activity.

Public exams and fitness tests

as the rules require

We issue certificates for people who need to prove their fitness for the physical tests in a public exam or selection process, such as those for the fire service or the police. The content of the certificate depends on the rules of each process, so bring the official form or the rules with you on the day.

Clubs and teams

scheduled appointments

We coordinate examinations for the athletes of a single club or team with scheduled appointments: football and futsal teams, local clubs, sports schools, youth categories and cycling clubs. The club contacts us to agree dates, times and the approximate number of athletes.

In every case, the examination is adapted to the athlete's age, medical history, sport, the demands of the activity and the specific purpose of the certificate.

What does the check-up involve?

The examination begins with a clinical interview to understand your health, your medical history and the nature of the physical activity you take part in. From there, it may include:

Clinical interview — Recording of personal and family medical history.
Your activity — Sport, training frequency and intensity.
Injuries and surgery — Assessment of previous illnesses, injuries or operations.
Regular medication — Review of any treatment you are on.
Symptoms during exercise — Dizziness, fainting, chest pain, breathing difficulty or palpitations.
Blood pressure — Measurement of blood pressure.
Heart rate — Assessment of heart rate.
Auscultation — Cardiac and respiratory auscultation.
General examination — General medical examination, musculoskeletal system and basic vision check where necessary.
Resting electrocardiogram — Where it forms part of the examination or the doctor considers it indicated.
Final assessment — Assessment of your fitness to take part in sport.

The specific content of the examination varies according to age, sport, medical history and the requirements of the body requesting the certificate.

If we identify any symptom or medical history during the examination that needs further review, we will explain the next steps: it may be necessary to provide a report from your GP or a specialist, to bring the results of previous tests, to carry out a further examination, or to attend a specialist service. Needing a further assessment does not necessarily mean you cannot take part in sport: the aim is to have enough information to issue the certificate safely.

What to bring

Valid DNI or NIE.
Any document, form or certificate template provided by the club, federation, event organiser or public body, where one exists.
The rules of the selection process, for public exams that set out specific content for the medical certificate.
Your current sports licence, if this is a renewal and you have it to hand.
Medical reports on illnesses, injuries, operations or relevant treatments.
Glasses, contact lenses, hearing aids or any other aids you normally use.

Under-18s should be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian where necessary, particularly to provide the medical history and give consent for the examination. If the certificate requires a photograph, we take it at the centre.

How does it work?

  1. You book an appointment at the centre.
  2. You tell us which sport you take part in and the specific purpose of the certificate.
  3. If it is for a public exam, we review the template or the requirements set out in the rules.
  4. We check your documents.
  5. We record your personal and family medical history.
  6. We carry out the relevant medical examination.
  7. We run whichever tests apply to your type of examination.
  8. The doctor assesses the results and, if they are favourable, we issue the fitness certificate.
  9. You submit the certificate to the club, federation, event organiser or body that requested it.

Certificate validity, and who does what

Unlike other medical certificates, validity here is not set by a single regulation or by the medical centre: it depends on who is asking for the document and on the athlete's circumstances.

What validity depends on

The federation or body requesting the certificate.
The sport and the athlete's age.
The result of the examination and the doctor's judgement.
Any illness, medical history or circumstance that makes more frequent review advisable.
The specific requirements of a competition or public exam.
In licensed football and futsal in Catalonia, medicals are valid for two seasons, unless the doctor sets a shorter period.

Who does what after the centre

The club uploads the certificate to the Federació Catalana de Futbol licence management system and checks that it is still valid.
The public body sets the requirements, the template and the wording the certificate must use.
The federation, club or organisation sets the validity period it requires.
At the centre we carry out the examination and issue the certificate, but we do not process licences or entries.

For that reason we recommend always telling us the specific purpose of the certificate and bringing the template or the rules if they exist: it is the way to avoid the document being rejected for not matching what the process requires.

The certificate is issued for the specific purpose you tell us, and a document issued for one activity may not be enough for a different sport or for an organisation with different requirements. The requirements and the validity period are set by the federation, the club or the body requesting the certificate, not by the medical centre. That is why it matters to tell us which sport you take part in, which event you need it for and who is asking for it.
