Human activities affect the planet by altering natural cycles. They contribute to climate change and pollution, posing challenges to ecosystems, biodiversity, human well-being and health. There is a need to consider Planetary Health, which is described as a solutions-oriented, transdisciplinary field and social movement focused on analysing and addressing the impacts of human disruptions to the Earth's natural systems on human health and all life on Earth. This viewpoint discusses the responsibilities, choices, potential roles and practical initiatives concerning Planetary Health for the Sports and Exercise Medicine (SEM) community. Practices in both medicine and sport impact the environment. We can shift our human and SEM activities and adopt a Planetary Health approach. Our role as the SEM community is to protect and promote the health of athletes and populations. This also involves caring for the environment, given the close link between environmental and human health. Therefore, as an SEM community, we are concerned about the health of our ecosystems and the importance of respecting planetary boundaries. Our scientific expertise, inspirational leadership and ethics should encourage us to raise awareness and become exemplary torchbearers. We must embrace the challenge of addressing humanity's planetary crises to rise to the occasion, uphold our values and strengthen our connection with nature: 'faster, higher, stronger-all together'.
人类活动通过改变自然循环影响地球。它们导致气候变化和污染，给生态系统、生物多样性、人类福祉和健康带来挑战。有必要考虑行星健康，它被描述为一个以解决方案为导向的跨学科领域和社会运动，专注于分析和应对人类对地球自然系统的干扰对人类健康和地球上所有生命的影响。本文观点讨论了体育与运动医学（SEM）界在行星健康方面的责任、选择、潜在作用和实际举措。医学和体育领域的实践都会对环境产生影响。我们可以改变人类和体育与运动医学活动，采用行星健康方法。作为体育与运动医学界，我们的职责是保护和促进运动员及大众的健康。鉴于环境与人类健康之间的紧密联系，这也包括关爱环境。因此，作为体育与运动医学界，我们关注生态系统的健康以及尊重地球边界的重要性。我们的科学专业知识、鼓舞人心的领导力和道德准则应促使我们提高认识，成为典范的引领者。我们必须迎接应对人类行星危机的挑战，抓住机遇，秉持我们的价值观，加强与自然的联系：“更快、更高、更强——携手共进”。
