Description
Sports Medicine bridges the gap between science and practice in the promotion of exercise and health and the scientific assessment, study and understanding of sports performance. Regular features include: sports injury prevention and treatment; exercise for health; drugs in sport and recommendations for training and nutrition. Sports Medicine focuses on definitive and comprehensive review articles that interpret and evaluate the current literature to provide the rationale for and application of research findings in areas such as:
- Sports medicine and sports science (including performance research)
- The medical syndromes associated with sport and exercise
- The practical role that clinical medicine plays in sport, through injury prevention and treatment
- The medical use of exercise for rehabilitation and health
- Application of physiological and biomechanical principles to specific sports
