SAGE launching new sports medicine journal in 2009: Sports Health: A
Multidisciplinary Approach
Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, and Singapore (April 4, 2008) Sports
Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach is a new sports medicine journal
being launched in 2009 by SAGE. It is a collaborative publication of the
American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), American
Medical Society of Sports Medicine (AMSSM), National Athletic Trainers'
Association (NATA) and the Sports Physical Therapy Section (SPTS).
Sports Health is a bi-monthly publication that will publish its first
issue in January 2009. It is aimed at physicians and allied health
professionals who work with athletes.
"The comprehensive care of athletes requires a diverse team of
professionals, including athletic trainers, physical therapists, primary
care physicians and orthopaedic surgeons," said Edward M. Wojtys, MD,
Sports Health Editor-in-Chief. Dr. Wojtys is a professor of Orthopaedic
Surgery and Chief of the Sports Medicine Service, and Medical Director
of MedSport, all at the University of Michigan. "Our goal with this
publication is to improve the care and rehabilitation of athletes."
Sports Health features associate editors from each of the collaborating
organizations. Editor-in-chief Dr. Wojtys was nominated by AOSSM. Dr.
George Davies of SPTS is the co-founder and previous co-editor of the
Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy. Dr. Matthew Gammons
of AMSSM is the primary care sports physician at the Killington Medical
Clinic and the Vermont Orthopaedic Clinic where he currently works with
patients incurring a variety of sports-related injuries. He also serves
as one of the team physicians for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard teams. Dr.
Riann Palmieri-Smith of NATA is an Assistant Professor in Athletic
Training, Movement Science and Orthopaedics at the University of
Michigan and has served as a Section Editor for the Journal of Athletic
Training in the Pathology, Physiology, and Biodynamics section.

currently publish the American Journal of Sports Medicine. We are also
pleased to be working for the first time with such prestigious
organizations as the AMSSM, NATA and SPTS in the launch of this
important new journal," said Jayne Marks, SAGE Vice-President, Global
Business Development. "The publication of Sports Health helps solidify
