Certificate of Fitness for Boxing (Pre-registration)
Notes for Medical Practitioner
Introduction
The purpose of a medical examination of persons wishing to register or re-register as a boxer under the Boxing and Wrestling Control Act 1986 is to minimise the risks of participation in boxing sports. It is appreciated that such examination will not prevent injuries arising directly from the effects of blows, but the purpose is to detect those persons who are particularly at risk due to pre-existing disease or anatomical abnormalities.
1995—No. 455
This examination will be the first examination for any boxer wishing to register or re- register under the Act. It involves a full physical examination including an analysis of urine and may require an ECG. The Boxing and Wrestling Control Act 1986 also requires that he be examined by a medical practitioner:
(a) before every contest; and
(b) after every contest; and
(c) at any time as directed by the Authority.
These examinations are for the benefit and welfare of no-one except the boxer himself. Please assist in the prevention of injury and disability.
General
Boxers should be in good general health. Excessive weight and wasting should be considered with caution, although this would not necessarily exclude participation.
The medical practitioner, in examining the patient, should look for abnormalities
which:
(a) decrease the ability of the person to defend himself; or
(b) increase the risk of injury.
In addition, the medical practitioner should note any other abnormality of which the Authority should be aware even if that abnormality may not be relevant to the registration of the boxer (Item 4 of the medical practitioner’s report).
Decreased ability to defend
1. Loss of sensation particularly sight or hearing.
2. Slow, clumsy movements, e.g. cerebral palsy.
3. Muscular and/or joint disease.
4. Lesions of balance/co-ordination.
5. Easy fatiguibility, secondary to heart/renal disease.6. Respiratory disease, chronic or periodic, e.g. asthma.
Increased risk of injury
1. Bleeding tendency, e.g. haemophilia.
2. Past history of multiple fractures.
3. Increased size of viscera, especially liver and spleen.
4. Undescended testes.1995—No. 455
5. Loss/abnormality of paired organs.
6. Poorly controlled diseases, e.g. hypertension/diabetes.
7. Disease with poor healing/potential joint instability, e.g. collagen disease.
8. Transient/prolonged neurological systems/signs, including headache.9. Previous injury with incomplete recovery of function or complicating sequelae.
Conclusion
In general, the Boxing Authority of New South Wales reserves the right to exclude boxers on medical grounds. However, when a significant abnormality exists it would be appreciated if all available information, including consultation by relevant consultants, is provided, so that an informed decision can be made as to the suitability of the applicant for registration.
