What is sports medicine?
Sports medicine includes the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sports-related illnesses. It also includes advice and measures for maintaining and improving the physical condition of athletes of all ages and levels.
Prevention
The sports medicine physician is there to ensure that there are no contraindications to the planned sports activity, depending on the athlete's age and state of health. Before starting a new sport, make an appointmentwith your sports doctor at your Turó Park clinic in Barcelona. He will be able to advise you as best as possible, in particular on the desired duration and intensity of the training in order to avoid any imbalance that could jeopardize your health.
For high-level athletes, sport medicine consultations are more regular and more thorough. They take place several times a year to find out if the patient is coping well with the training and if it is suitable. It includes several clinical examinations (electrocardiography, respiratory test, echocardiography, dental examination with panoramic, screening for visual and hearing disorders, maximum stress test, etc.) as well as a psychological interview and a sophisticated biological assessment. These exchanges with the sports doctor, by creating a climate of trust between the athlete and the practitioner, play a major role in the prevention of doping.

Thanks to personalized care and a series of measures (dietetic advice, determination of the anaerobic threshold, contacts with coaches and physiotherapists, etc.), the sports doctor acts to improve the performance of his patient.
