Athletic Club pre-season medicals are underway

The medical assessments are taking place at the IMQ Sports Medicine Unit in Bilbao

On Wednesday morning, the first group of Athletic Club players did their routine pre-season medical examinations at IMQ’s Sports Medicine Unit in Bilbao.

Over the next few days, more first-team players will be brought in for tests before pre-season training begins next week. The evaluations include checking medical history, a resting electrocardiogram, an echocardiogram and a maximal exercise test.

On the day training starts, the footballers will also do a blood test and an anthropometric measurement, which includes assessments of height, weight and body mass index, among other criteria.
