Regular Physical Exercise is integral to the body staying healthy. However, stressing the human body beyond its limits may lead to injury.
Sports medicine is the science of understanding how these injuries can be avoided, recognised when they do occur,and then treated appropriately. Sports injuries are, in principle, the same as other injuries. The major difference can be in the expectation of the patients. Sports medicine has been defined as the scope of medical practice that focuses on:
1.Prevention,diagnosistreatment and rehabilitation of injuries that occur during physical activity
2.Prevention,diagnosis,and management of medical conditions that occur during or after physical activity
3.Promotion and implementation of regular physical activity in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of chronic diseases of lifestyle.
