The regular practice of physical activities is important to prevent cardiovascular diseases and other chronic diseases in adults that begin in childhood. There for, the combination of physical activities and base cardiovascular diseases predisposes the individual to the risk of sudden death during the physical activities. The necessity of an cardiologic assessment in children and adolescents before they begin sports physical activities regularly is object of controversy on literature. The aim of this study was to diagnose children and adolescents carriers of heart diseases potentially fatal during the practice of sports physical activities and/or with risk factors to the development of chronic adult diseases that begin on childhood. The results of the nutritional assessment showed a high prevalence of overweight and of individuals with fat body distribution associated with the heart disease in adulthood. The clinical exam was not enough to detect of cardiac changes and the electrocardiogram was important to detect cardiac arrhythmias potentially fatal during the practice of sports physical activities, what reinforce the necessity of its inclusion on routine assessment in the pre-participation in children and adolescents.
