Course Introduction
Sports Medicine explores the scientific principles and practical applications that underpin the health and performance of athletes and physically active individuals. This course covers topics such as injury prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries, as well as exercise physiology, nutrition, biomechanics, and the psychological aspects of sport. Students will also examine the roles and responsibilities of sports medicine professionals, the ethical considerations in athletic healthcare, and contemporary challenges in the field. Through case studies and hands-on learning, the course prepares students for further study or careers in athletic training, physiotherapy, coaching, and related health professions.
