Description

A subspecialty of medicine called "sports medicine" deals with physical fitness as well as the diagnosis, treatment, and avoidance of injuries brought on by exercise and sports. Although the majority of sports organizations have long had team physicians on staff, sports medicine has only recently become recognized as a separate area of medicine. Sports medicine is a recognized medical specialty in some nations. Sports medicine is a physician specialty in the vast majority of nations where it is recognized and practiced, but in some, it can also be a primary care specialty as well as a surgical or non-surgical medical specialty. In other situations, the term "sports medicine" refers to a broad field that includes both medical specialists and allied health professionals who work in the sports industry, including physiotherapists, athletic trainers, podiatrists, and exercise physiologists.

The term "sports medicine" can be used to describe a specific medical specialty or subspecialty within a number of medical and scientific fields related to sports. Sport and exercise medicine, which is now well-established in many nations, may also be referred to as sports medicine. It may also broadly refer to medical professionals who work in a variety of settings, such as doctors, researchers, teachers, and others. Sports medicine experts come from a variety of backgrounds. The primary goals shared by all sports medicine specialists are the averting of additional injuries and enhancing the functionality of the injured area to allow a return to normal activity. They work with people from all walks of life, not just athletes. To ensure the best recovery strategy for the individual, the various sports medicine specialists frequently collaborate as a team. Orthopedic surgeons, certified athletic trainers, sports physical therapists, experts in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and doctors who specialize in sports and exercise medicine can all be team members. Sports and Exercise Medicine (SEM) doctors specialize in treating athletes and other physically active people and have advanced training in musculoskeletal medicine. SEM doctors treat long- term conditions like diabetes and asthma that can impair physical performance, as well as injuries like muscle, ligament, tendon, and bone problems. SEM medical professionals also provide advice on how to handle and prevent injuries. Four years of experience in internal medicine with a focus on cardiology, emergency medicine, clinical nutrition, orthopedics, and traumatology and a physical and rehabilitation medicine fellowship at a reputable sports medicine facility are generally advised by European templates for SEM specialization. Although doctors have been involved in treating athletes since ancient times in Greek, Roman, and Egyptian societies, sports medicine was only formally recognized as a specialty in the 20^th century.

Sports medicine is the first society that was founded in Switzerland, followed by Germany, France, and Italy. Although sport and exercise medicine were not yet recognized as separate specialties, attempts to up-skill thousands of doctors and other health professionals in that country in the 1920s failed due to a privation of funding throughout the Sadness. Italy was the first nation to recognized sports medicine as a separate field of study, doing so in 1958. The necessary training specifications for the establishment of the specialty of sports medicine in a specific European nation have been established by the European Union of Medical Specialists. The European Federation of Sports Medicine Associations seeks to make sports medicine a recognized field of study throughout Europe. Sport and exercise medicine is a distinct medical specialty in Australia and New Zealand, and the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians is one of Australia's 15 accredited medical specialty colleges.
