I. What advice would you give the patient about playing sports safely?
To ensure that my patient can play sports safely, I would advise them to wear the necessary protective equipment for their sport, to warm up thoroughly before each training session to avoid injury, and above all, to never continue playing if they are in pain, especially after a possible concussion.
II. What questions would you have for the patient regarding playing sports?
I think three types of questions are important. Namely, questions about their general physical health, their current mental state, and their lifestyle. I would ask questions such as: Do you sometimes experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness during exercise? Does sports make you feel stressed or under pressure ? And, Do you consume substances such as alcohol, vaping products, or drugs?
