South African Journal of Sports Medicine

The South African Journal of Sports Medicine is an international, 
refereed journal published for professionals with a primary interest 
in sports medicine and exercise science practice.

The journal publishes original research and reviews covering 
diagnostics, therapeutics and rehabilitation in healthy and 
physically challenged individuals of all ages and levels of sport and 
exercise participation. Original manuscripts, i.e., those that have 
not been published elsewhere except in abstract form, will be 
accepted from all countries and subject to peer review by the Editors 
and Editorial Board.

The South African Journal of Sports Medicine invites articles for 
submission from the areas of: (1) diagnosis, treatment, and 
rehabilitation of sport- and exercise-related injuries, (2) medical 
illnesses induced by or exacerbated by exercise, (3) the relationship 
between exercise and health, including exercise physiology, (4) the 
medical care of physically active individuals, (5) sports psychology, 
(6) sports nutrition, and (7) biomechanics related to sport.

Articles are invited from within the following categories:

Original Research: Clinical research and basic science articles that 
are clinically relevant.
Brief Reports: Clinical studies that are limited in depth or scope 
but with important findings to report.
Case Reports: Reports of clinical observations that have been 
carefully documented are particularly instructive.

Additional manuscripts may be submitted, after consulting with the 
Editor-in-Chief, in the following categories:

Letters to the Editor:
Lead Editorials: These are short syntheses of data and current 
thought on topical issues in the field of sports medicine.
Review Articles: These should be concise, in-depth, and well 
referenced; they should use the principles of critical appraisal 
(evidence-based medicine).
Position Statements: These succinct but comprehensive documents are 
typically prepared by a recognised society for the purpose of 
providing clinical guidelines in important areas of sports medicine.
