Sports Medicine

A branch of medicine concerned with the welfare of athletes, and deals with the science and medical treatment of those involved in sports and physical activities.

The objectives of sports medicine include the prevention, protection, and correction of injuries, and the preparation of an individual for physical activity in its full range of intensity.

Sports medicine includes the study of the effects of different levels of exercise, training, and sport on healthy and ill people in order to produce information useful in prevention, therapy, and rehabilitation of injuries and illness in athletes. The information is used to optimize performance in sports.

Sports medicine originally dealt with medical aspects of sport and its foremost objective was the welfare of the athlete. Recently, there has been an emphasis by some practitioners on the possible contribution of medical science to improving athletic performances, sometimes at the expense of morality and ethics.
