From sickness to health: prevention-centered thinking.
I just returned from Oslo and the stimulating First International Congress on Sports Injury Prevention. I'm excited by the quality of the information presented and the dedication of countless experts from many countries to bring this crucial topic to the fore. I'm also pleased to promote a message that has been central to the mission of this journal: to not only treat sports-related injury and illness but also to encourage physical activity as a means for both treating and preventing disease.
