Sports Medicine

Open focuses on original research and definitive reviews in the field of sport and exercise medicine. The Journal includes medical and scientific research relating to:

  • Sporting performance enhancement including nutrition, equipment, and training
  • Medical syndromes associated with sport and exercise
  • Injury prevention and treatment
  • Exercise for rehabilitation and health
  • The application of physiological and biomechanical principles to specific
    sporting codes

Specializing in the treatment of athletes and other physically active individuals, sports, and exercise medicine physicians have extensive education in musculoskeletal medicine. SEM doctors treat injuries such as muscle, ligament, tendon and bone problems, but may also treat chronic illnesses that can affect physical performance, such as asthma and diabetes. SEM doctors also advise on managing and preventing injuries.

Specialists in SEM diagnose and treat any medical conditions which regular exercises or sports persons encounter. The majority of an SEM physician’s time is therefore spent treating musculoskeletal injuries, however other conditions include sports cardiology issues, unexplained underperformance syndrome, exercise-induced asthma, screening for cardiac abnormalities and diabetes in sports. In addition team physicians working in elite sports often play a role in performance medicine, whereby an athletes’ physiology is monitored, and aberrations corrected, in order to achieve peak physical performance.
