                                                                              December 30, 1997

                               Participation in athletics is both an enjoyable pastime and a
                               part of keeping physically and mentally fit. Some individuals
                               may only be interested in general conditioning and weight
                               loss, while others may want specific exercises for certain
                               events. Regardless of the activity, risks are always involved,
                               and today's physician must be able to not only treat the
                               various injuries that arise , but also offer counsel on a wide
                               range of other interrelated subjects.(Berger 294) Sports
                               medicine is the prevention and treatment of injuries suffered
                               by athletes in sporting activities. An athlete is anyone who
                               engages in any kind of sport, from those who walk for
                               exercise to those who play competitive sports.(Darden XI)
                               Athletes not only need treatment for sports injuries but as well
                               help or advice related to sports activities. In the past such
                               people would go to their doctor or coach and get standard
                               medical or athletic attention. Now, more and more athletes are
                               turning to experts in the field of sports medicine.(Berger 2)
                               Sports medicine encompasses a wide variety of specialties. In
                               the following report, adherence to a balanced diet, prevention
                               of injuries and first aid, will be looked at. As well, the history

                               for this field of medicine. HISTORY Sports Medicine has long
                               been available to the injured athlete. An Egyptian surgical
                               manual written during the era of the Old Kingdom - more than
