Sports medicine is a very broad term. It involves any profession or field of study that is dedicated to the care of athletes and physically active individuals. Examples include, but not limited to, athletic training, physical therapy, nutrition, medicine, psychology, exercise physiology, and biomechanics. The uniqueness of athletic training is that it combines all of these practices. It is also a sports medicine profession which is trained to work exclusively with sport/physical activity.
