What is sports medicine?
Sports medicine can be defined as a medical speciality or field that deals with both the prevention and treatment of injuries resulting from the practice of sports. Sports medicine studies the effects of physical exercise and applies this knowledge for preventive and therapeutic purposes in order to maintain the health of individuals and contribute to the prevention of injuries that may result from physical exercise.
