Sports Medicine Ethics Committees

Sports Medicine Ethics Committees are groups responsible for reviewing and overseeing medical research and practices related to sports. Their goal is to ensure athlete safety, fairness, and integrity are protected, especially when new treatments or studies are involved. They evaluate proposed research to prevent harm, ensure informed consent, and maintain ethical standards. These committees help balance the pursuit of sports innovation with athletes’ well-being, ensuring that all interventions and research are conducted responsibly and ethically.
