I have only the experience of french physicals.
I was a student in the beguinnings of the 60's in middle school and high school and if I remember well, the mandatory physicals in schools were more throrough than the sport physicals.
On the opposite of "Tony", we were not allowed to go to a family doctor, we can have a physioal with this doctor if we wanted or if your mother wanted to be sure of your good health because it was her who decided but in that case, we must also report to the school physicals with the other students of the class and we underwent a second physical very thorough.
As regards the comment about the number of ladies doctors in that time, if it was true that there was a few female doctors in private offices,and most of the doctors were male, it was different in the schools where nearly all the doctors were already female ones.they were hired by the school autorithies to perform only schools physicals and sport physicals if necessary.
For the difference between sport physicals and yearly school physicals, first, the schools physicals are not yearly today, second, it seems to be if I consider some accounts I have read that today it is exactly the opposite of the past, that means that the school physicals are performed quickly and alone most of the time or at least with a certain privacy and the boys are not naked from start to finish, while the sports physicals are more thorough now and sometimes still performed in group without much privacy.
