 abstract={In 2019, three regulations of the Minister of Health regarding sports medicine examinations in children, adolescents and young athletes came into force. The publication presents in detail the current scope of tests and the frequency of required medical examinations necessary to obtain medical certificates qualifying patients to practice sports. The publication also presents the Regulation of the Minister of Health on the required qualifications of doctors authorized to issue medical certificates to athletes. It is very important to properly assess the health of potential and current athletes to ensure their safety while participating in sports competitions. There are diseases that increase the risk of sudden cardiac death which doctors should keep in mind when qualifying athletes for competition. The publication draws attention to the underestimated role of echocardiography and electrocardiographic stress testing.},
