In medicine, sports medicine is the "field of medicine concerned with physical fitness and the diagnosis and treatment of injuries sustained in sports activities."[1]
Preparticipation screening
Clinical practice guidelines by the American Heart Association[2] and the European Society of Cardiology (Lausanne recommendations)[3] address preparticipation screening for cardiovascular abnormalities.
Electrocardiogram
A cohort study of preparticipation cardiovascular screening using the Lausanne recommendation found that "the number of athletes needed to screen to find a single athlete with a potentially lethal cardiovascular disease was 143."[4] A cost-benefit analysis suggests the electrocardiogram would save 2 life years per 1000 athletes screened and that this would be cost-effective as compared to other medical interventions.[5]
Common injuries
Sports injuries can come from both specific events and cumulative trauma disorder.
- Brain concussion (acute and cumulative)
- Knee injury
- Neck injury
- Ankle joint injury
- Tennis elbow/lateral humeral epicondylitis
- Shoulder joint tear
