Dr. Sergio Pagani - Medicina Sportiva

A competitive sports medical certificate is required to participate in sports activities classified as competitive under the rules of the relevant federations and governing bodies. A non-competitive sports medical certificate applies to activities for which this different type of fitness certification is required.

The examinations vary depending on the type of certificate, the sport practised and the applicable regulations. For competitive sports clearance, they may include an electrocardiogram, an exercise stress test, spirometry and other tests, as required by the relevant protocol.

We recommend bringing a form of ID, any request from your sports club, previous fitness certificates and relevant medical records. Before your appointment, check with the clinic whether any additional documents are required.

The certificate is generally valid for 12 months, although different intervals may apply to certain sports or conditions. The expiry date is stated on the certificate issued.

Whether a certificate can be issued depends on the outcome of the medical assessment and completion of the required tests. If further investigations are needed, the certificate may not be issued immediately.

Dr Sergio Pagani’s Sports Medicine Clinic is located at Via Giacomo Matteotti 115, Arcisate (VA), in Valceresio. To book an appointment, you can use the WhatsApp number at the bottom of the homepage, click “Book now” at the top of the website, or visit the Contact page.
