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]

Common injuries
