Sports Medicine
Sports medicine is the study and practice of medical principles related to the science of sports, particularly in the areas of:
- Sports Injury Diagnosis and Treatment
- Sports Injury Prevention
- Sports Training and Athletic Performance, including:
- Exercises and Workouts

Sports medicine physicians have specialized training in the field in medicine that deals with sport or exercise-related injuries. Their primary focus is on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of injuries that occur during sports and other physical activity.
A sports medicine physician receives special training during a residency program in sports medicine after finishing a residency program in another specialty, such as primary care or orthopedic surgery. There are currently no widespread residency programs in sports medicine.
