Course Introduction
Sports Medicine is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to physical activity and sports. This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of sports medicine, including the anatomy and physiology of musculoskeletal injuries, emergency care, injury assessment techniques, and rehabilitation strategies. Topics covered include injury prevention, nutrition, exercise physiology, biomechanics, psychological aspects of sports participation, and ethical issues in sports healthcare. The course is designed to provide foundational knowledge for students interested in careers in athletic training, physical therapy, sports coaching, or related health professions.
