AB Sports  medicine  developed  in  the  1970s  as  an  orthopedic  specialty  focusing  on  competitive  athletes.  Today,  sports  medicine  includes  the  overall  care  of  athletes  from  many  skill  levels.  Increasingly,  care  of  recreational  athletes  has  risen  to  that  common  for  professional  athletes.  In  addition  to  the  musculoskeletal  system,  care  includes  the  cardiovascular  and  pulmonary  systems  and  also  focuses  on  training  techniques,  nutrition,  and  women's  athletics.  This  wide  range  of  care  requires  a  multidisciplinary  team  of  medical  personnel,  including  athletic  trainers,  physical  therapists,  cardiologists,  pulmonologists,  orthopedic  surgeons,  and  general  practitioners.
