Sports medicine and exercise fitness focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries and conditions related to physical activity, as well as optimizing athletic performance and overall health. It encompasses exercise physiology, injury rehabilitation, nutrition, and training techniques to support safe and effective physical activity.
