Abstract

This article offers a critical reflection of Sports Medicine. An analysis of this text provides a number of important insights into the state of sports medicine at this moment in time. First as a medical practice; second, the nature of British sport; and third, how sports medicine practitioners reflected prevailing cultural and social values. Both sport and medicine do not operate in a vacuum. Neither are these two particular activities autonomous from wider social and cultural forces. Instead they are subject to a wider historical context, something that his chapter aims to outline.
