To examine the evidence base of sports medicine research.
A sample of four major journals that present core research in sport and exercise medicine (British Journal of Sports Medicine, Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, and Physical Therapy) was examined using assessment criteria taken from the READER method.
Randomised controlled trials comprised 10% or less of all original research articles. Observational/descriptive studies were the most commonly published study design. There was a highly significant difference (p<0.0001) in the contents of the four journals but when they were compared by categorising the better quality methods together (randomised control trial, case-control, and cohort studies), the difference was not significant (p = 0.09).
The overall pattern of publication type seems remarkably stable over medical journals, indicating that the quality of sports medicine research is comparable to that in other specialities.
探讨运动医学研究的证据基础。
采用取自READER方法的评估标准，对四本发表运动与运动医学核心研究的主要期刊（《英国运动医学杂志》《运动与锻炼医学与科学》《运动医学与体能杂志》和《物理治疗》）进行抽样研究。
随机对照试验在所有原创研究文章中占比10%或更低。观察性/描述性研究是最常发表的研究设计。这四本期刊的内容存在高度显著差异（p<0.0001），但当将质量较高的方法（随机对照试验、病例对照研究和队列研究）归为一类进行比较时，差异并不显著（p = 0.09）。
医学期刊上发表类型的总体模式似乎非常稳定，这表明运动医学研究的质量与其他专业相当。
