Popis: With increasing leisure time more people than ever are either taking part in or watching sport. Sport has become a commercially attractive medium and the need for money to promote both sports and products has produced new problems, which include increased stress and an increased risk of injury. For the true amateur, injuries can result in significant time off work and for both amateurs and professionals, long-term chronic problems may occur. The medical care of sports injuries has been underestimated if not neglected in the past. This paper attempts to bring together some of the known facts and the development in medical care and understanding.
