Pranav’s death has caused concern among parents, who may be worried about their children participating in sporting activities. Some have also questioned if they should subject their kids to more stringent health checks and tests beforehand.According to medical experts whom ST consulted, while some congenital issues can be detected during medical examinations, there is no guarantee.
In professional sport, there have been footballers who had such conditions uncovered only later in their careers. In October 2022, Brighton midfielder Enock Mwepu was also forced to retire at the age of 24 because of a hereditary heart condition.Are more stringent checks needed? When asked if schools need to conduct more health checks for student-athletes, or if parents should do so, Dr Cormac O’Muircheartaigh, medical director at the Sports Medicine Lab, noted that “pre-participation medical screening” is a “very good recommendation for athletes beginning a training programme”.
He also did not account for all his student-athletes before dismissing them from training, which was not in accordance with the school’s safety protocols.
