Abstract:
This document is the update of the Consensus published by SAP in 2014, so that no child nor adolescent is excluded from their right to health and physical activity. The periodic medical control and the school physical education are fundamental tools. As a result, of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, sports practice decreased dramatically. Recommendations are formulated that serve as a reference to pediatricians, members of health care teams, educational institutions, and sports at the local, regional, and national level in the preparation of the health certificate for a child or adolescent who will participate in physical or sports activities. The pediatrician will evaluate the child or adolescent knowing that to carry out a healthy life, must perform physical activities with moderate or vigorous intensity. The health certificate implies a shared responsibility between the child or adolescent and/or the responsible adult, the doctor, the physical education teachers and/or the coaches in charge.
