No, not normal. Jr. High, High School sports, during the physical, the old turn your head and cough test. Military phys., same. I remember the A-bomb tests, first grade on. '61...where we put our heads between our knees and kissed our a.. goodbye. No one grabbed my stuff.
Not in elementary but jr high on when physicals were done.
Maybe he was doing his own rendition of "treasure hunting."

Grew up in mass. I feel like they did do something like that. I kind of remember being terrified of it. It wasn't a big deal though. Yeah turn your head and cough. I was so freaked out I barely could make a cough!

Last time I got a hernia test I didn't cough. I just kept track of how many times the doctor repeated the command to cough, and counted how many seconds it takes for him let go and ask what's up.
I told him "I'm just doing a little testing of my own". Like I said that was the LAST time I got a hernia test.

It's a normal check for a hernia. They usually do it starting in Jr. High, High School etc. I never had it done for Grade School sports.
