PY - 2014 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Orthopedics, 5e AB - Sports medicine developed in the 1970s as an orthopedic specialty focusing on competitive athletes. Today, sports medicine includes the overall care of athletes from many skill levels. Increasingly, care of recreational athletes has risen to that common for professional athletes. In addition to the musculoskeletal system, care includes the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems and also focuses on training techniques, nutrition, and women's athletics. This wide range of care requires a multidisciplinary team of medical personnel, including athletic trainers, physical therapists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, orthopedic surgeons, and general practitioners.
