There is a limited awareness about the role of Sports and Exercise Medicine (SEM) among medical as well as nonmedical fraternity beyond just management of sports injuries. SEM professionals play a significant role in healthy general population and illness by designing and implementing specific primordial, primary and secondary preventive activities against the lifestyle disorders through exercise. In amateur and professional sports, they provide scientifically sound advice to enhance performance and prevent injuries through pre- and rehabilitative techniques. In the Armed Forces personnel, SEM has a special role beyond these to assess fitness for battle physical efficiency and also enhance the performance in various physical activities of military nature. Scientifically sound professionals in this field can help build a strong army and a healthier nation.
除了运动损伤管理之外，医学界和非医学界对运动与运动医学（SEM）的作用认识有限。运动与运动医学专业人员通过设计和实施针对生活方式紊乱的特定初级、一级和二级预防活动，在健康的普通人群和疾病预防方面发挥着重要作用。在业余和职业体育中，他们通过赛前和康复技术提供科学合理的建议，以提高成绩和预防损伤。在武装部队人员中，运动与运动医学除了上述作用外，还有特殊作用，即评估战斗体能适应性，并提高在各种军事性质体育活动中的表现。该领域科学合理的专业人员有助于建设一支强大的军队和一个更健康的国家。
