The City Council provides free medical check-ups to 150 students of the Municipal Soccer and Basketball Sports Schools.

The study, which has been carried out in children between the ages of 6 and 15 years, aims to prevent future heart disease.

The Estepona City Council reports that it has carried out medical examinations to children of the Municipal Sports Schools (EDM) of Football and Basketball who are participating in the 2025/26 season of the Provincial Educational Leagues.

Before the start of these competitions, in the middle of this month, around 150 students (about 70 from the Soccer EDM and another 80 from the Basketball EDM) underwent a study in which medical professionals analyzed a series of cardiac parameters.

They also had their spinal column checked, in addition to assessing other aspects, all with the aim of preventing possible future heart disease. Likewise, generic data on family history was also collected.

The medical examinations carried out by the municipal medical services, have been made to children aged between 6 and 15 years, in the Polideportivo El Carmen, in small groups of 10 students, every half hour.

This service has been offered free of charge by the City Council for more than a decade to the participants of the Educational Leagues, organized by the Sports Area of the Provincial Council of Malaga, the corresponding Andalusian territorial federations and the city councils attached to these sports programs.
