Sports medicine

Sports medicine is the study of how to keep athletes' bodies healthy and strong so they can do their best in sports. Just like how you go to the doctor when you're not feeling well, athletes go to sports medicine doctors and trainers to help make sure their bodies stay in tip-top shape.

These doctors and trainers help prevent injuries by teaching athletes how to warm up properly and use the right techniques when playing sports. They also know how to treat injuries when they do happen, like a sprained ankle or a pulled muscle. Sometimes they even help athletes recover from surgeries like a broken bone or torn ligament.

Sports medicine isn't just for professional athletes though! Even young kids like you can benefit from learning about sports medicine to stay healthy and injury-free while playing your favorite sports.
