FIT & HEALTHY WITH IU HEALTH WEST HOSPITAL
|
The BCSC partnership with Indiana University Health goes far beyond athletic training and building sponsorships. IU Health and Methodist Sports Medicine will be sharing helpful information in our Spotlight Newsletter each month.
 7 Ways to Supercharge Your Inner AthleteHow often do we start the year with the best exercise intentions? From taking that kettle bell class to racing in the Indianapolis Mini Marathon, the road to fitness resolutions is paved with visions of our inner athlete. But mounds of snow, long work hours, kids' music lessons and finally getting the dog to the vet turn our smooth route to wellness into an obstacle course worthy of the TV show Wipe Out. A lot of us set a goal to start running around the first of the year. Remember those resolutions we swore we'd stick to? Whether your resolution was to start running or just to move the clothes off the treadmill in the basement, all is not lost if you've stumbled a bit off the starting blocks. CLICK HERE for a few tips to get your fitness plan back on track and stay the course for the long run.

STRENGTH IN ATHLETES WITH IU HEALTH AND METHODIST SPORTS MEDICINE

The March Toward Spring EventsDale S. Snead, M.D., Methodist Sports MedicineIf you or your student wants to participate in a sport next year at the middle or high school level, an updated Pre-Participation Physical Exam (PPE) from a physician is required. IU Health and Methodist Sports Medicine professionals perform PPEs at area schools during the months of April and May. PPEs for Brownsburg High School are scheduled for Wednesday April 23rd at 6:30pm. Check with your athletic department or coach to confirm the PPE date for your school. The PPE form is located on the Indiana High School Athletic Association website, (click on "Related Topics") or provided at your primary care physician's office. Your school administrators can also help you obtain the correct form. Sports physicals are valid for one year (365 days) and cannot expire at anytime during the sport your child is involved. If a student receives a PPE during the summer, it is valid for the duration of the upcoming school year.
