In order to determinate if school athletes are submitted to control tests during their training process for the IV Centro American and Caribbean Scholar Sport Games performed in Armenía, Colombia in 2013, a study with a quantitative approach, a cross-sectional and descriptive scope, was developed. A convenience sample of 233 school athletes, 102 men and 131 women, representing nine countries and participating in 12 sports, was performed. The average age was of 16.9 ± 0.76 years, with a sport activity time of 7.26 ± 3.27 years. A survey developed by a research group and submitted to expert judgement was administered. Participation was voluntary. Information was treated with SPSS program (version 17). It was found that 9 out of 10 athletes underwent control tests, being the most applied the physic ones with 169 answers, followed by medical tests and in a lowest number psychological ones. There was a strong association between the application of control tests and athletes who belong to leagues in their respective countries and the gold medals obtained during the games by different countries.
