Notes for medical practitioner
Introduction
The purpose of a medical examination of persons wanting 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. Although such an examination will not prevent injuries arising directly from the effects of blows, the purpose is to detect those persons who are particularly at risk due to pre-existing disease or anatomical abnormalities.
This examination will be the first examination for a 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 a boxer to be examined by a medical practitioner before and after every contest, and at any other time directed by the Boxing Authority of New South Wales (the Authority). These examinations are for the benefit and welfare of the boxer. Please assist in the prevention of injury and disability.
General
Boxers should be in good general health. Although not necessarily excluding participation, excessive weight or wasting should be considered with caution.
In examining the person, the medical practitioner should look for abnormalities that:
(a)  decrease the person’s ability to defend himself, or
(b)  increase the risk of injury to the person.
Also, the medical practitioner should note (at item 5 of the Medical practitioner’s report in this certificate) any other abnormality of which the Authority should be aware, even if that abnormality may not be relevant to the person’s registration as a boxer.
Indications of decreased ability to defend
Indications of decreased ability to defend may include the following:
(a)  loss of sensation, particularly sight or hearing,
(b)  slow, clumsy movements, eg cerebral palsy,
(c)  muscular or joint disease or both,
(d)  lesions of balance or co-ordination,
(e)  easy fatigability, secondary to heart or renal disease,
(f)  respiratory disease, chronic or periodic, eg asthma.
Indications of increased risk of injury
Indications of increased risk of injury may include the following:
(a)  bleeding tendency, eg haemophilia,
(b)  past history of multiple fractures,
(c)  increased size of viscera, especially liver or spleen,
(d)  undescended testes,
(e)  loss or abnormality of paired organs,
(f)  poorly controlled diseases, eg hypertension or diabetes,
(g)  disease with poor healing or potential joint instability, eg collagen disease,
(h)  transient or prolonged neurological systems or signs, including headache,
(i)  previous injury with incomplete recovery of function or complicating sequelae.
Conclusion
In general, the Authority reserves the right to exclude boxers on medical grounds. However, if a significant abnormality exists it would be appreciated if all available information (including consultation by relevant consultants) is provided so that the Authority can make an informed decision as to the suitability of the applicant for registration.
