SPORTS MEDICINE
What is sports medicine?
Sports medicine is all about helping people stay healthy and active—especially athletes.
People in this field help prevent, treat and heal injuries caused by sports, exercise or physical activity. They work with athletes, coaches, doctors and sometimes even professional sports teams.
