What Is Sport And Exercise Medicine?

Sport and Exercise Medicine is involved in the management and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries or conditions. In addition, Sport and Exercise Physicians are qualified to administer exercise advice for medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, etc and can prescribe specific and general exercise programs for injury management and general health.

Sport and Exercise Medicine was recognised by Medicare and the Australian Health Insurance Commission as a full medical specialty in November 2010.
