"Science of Athletic Training as an independent sports science discipline is hardly 30 years old. Before this we find theories and methods of training scattered in different sports and sports science. Physical education and theory and methods of some popular sports like track and field, football, boxing, swimming etc., are the principle sources out of which the science of Athletic Training developed as a scientific discipline. Sports medicine is another science which contributed significantly towards the development of Athletic Training.
