title: Sports: hazardous to your health?
abstract: I've come to realize something that should profoundly affect the way we approach sports medicine: Twenty years ago, exercise and sports were virtually synonymous with health. Today, exercise still clearly promotes health,(1) but competitive sports often may not.(2-4) We need to own up to that fact, and shape our practices to address it.
