Sport / fitness certificate (non-federated) in Portugal
A Sport or Fitness Certificate (Non-federated) is a medical document confirming that the patient has completed a medical questionnaire and has been assessed as fit – or fit with restrictions – for the chosen sport or fitness activity. It is issued by a private doctor after reviewing the information provided in the questionnaire.
This certificate is commonly used for gyms, sports clubs, and recreational activities that require proof of physical and mental fitness. It is intended for non-federated sports only and does not replace the official medical examination required for federated sports regulated by public health or national sports authorities in Portugal.
The document includes the patient’s name, date of evaluation, confirmation of fitness or restrictions, and the doctor’s signature and credentials. It serves as formal confirmation that the patient is fit to participate in physical activity at a private or recreational level.
