Sports and Exercise Medicine – Open Journal (SEMOJ), often termed as sports medicine, deals with the physical fitness, treatment, and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise.

Earlier, physicians who were trained professionally and deployed in the sports teams to treat injuries caused during a game. In the late 20th-century sports medicine emerged as a distinct field and significant efforts have been made within the public health community to encourage people to become more physically active.

SEM specialists are pioneers in diagnosing and treating any condition encountered during regular exercises or sports activity. Such physicians treat musculoskeletal injuries apart from the other conditions such as exercise-induced asthma, diabetes in sports, female athlete triad, screening cardiac abnormalities, unexplained underperformance syndrome, etc.

However, Openventio aims at the widespread propagation of sports and exercise medicine and research through its Open Access (OA) journal for the welfare of the sports community.
