<unk>  is a branch of medicine that deals with physical fitness and the treatment and prevention of injuries related to<unk>  and exercise. Although most<unk>  teams have employed team physicians for many years, it is only since the late 20th century that<unk>  emerged as a distinct field of health care. In some countries,<unk>  (or<unk> and exercise medicine) is a recognized medical specialty (with similar training and standards to other medical specialties). In the majority of countries where<unk>  is recognized and practiced, it is a physician (non-surgical) specialty, but in some (such as the USA), it can equally be a surgical or non-surgical medical specialty, and also a specialty field within primary care. In other contexts, the field of<unk>  encompasses the scope of both medical specialists and also allied health practitioners who work in the field of<unk>  such as physiotherapists, athletic trainers, podiatrists and exercise physiologists.
