Abstract:
The practice of sports medicine differs little from regular family practice as far as ongoing care and support of the individual athlete is concerned.

He should be prepared to influence communities and governments to provide recreation programs which have regard for the individual's health and enjoyment, not simply competition. Various ways in which the family physician can make sports participation more enjoyable and less stressful are suggested.
