I wouldn’t argue with that, just allowing time for answers.
I would think a stress test with EKG for athletes.
I played CYO ball, so no tests for me. :)

This article is from 2018, about Gator Football Recruit Randy Russell.

He was a 3-star rated defensive back recruit from Miami, in his pre-conditioning physical before he was allowed to participate in team related activities, the doctors found a heart abnormality, the condition ended his football career, before it even started at UF.

He was allowed to remain on scholarship, and I think he ended up graduating and still be apart of the team despite never participating in team activities.

Any college and most definitely a major D1 school like UF or Southern Cal, are not going to allow anyone to participate in any team activities before they have had a thorough physical done by qualified specialists, not a GP.
