INJURIES AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SPORT AND EXERCISE

BACK 

Aim

To treat and prevent injuries and medical conditions associated with sport and exercise

 

Background

While the field of Sports Medicine is well established internationally, it is young and relatively untapped with respect to research in South Africa. An important focus at ESSM is therefore on using research to broaden our understanding of the aetiology (cause), prevention, diagnosis, management and rehabilitation of sports related injuries and a range of medical conditions associated with sport and exercise participation. Much of this research is conducted through the Sports Medicine Clinic at the Sport Science Institute of South Africa.
