Die DGSP ist die älteste und größte sportmedizinische Fachgesellschaft Europas. Ihr zentrales Anliegen: die Verbindung von wissenschaftlicher Exzellenz mit praktischer Versorgung.

So geht Sportmedizin weit über die reine Betrachtung von „Bewegung und Sport“ hinaus – es handelt sich um ein interdisziplinäres Forschungs- und Anwendungsfach, das von molekularbiologischen Mechanismen über klinische Fragestellungen bis hin zur Public Health reicht. Die DGSP bündelt diese Expertise und fördert den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs und Austausch zwischen Forschung, Klinik und Praxis.

Damit versteht sich die DGSP mit allen Organen als Brücke zwischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft. Ihre wissenschaftliche Bedeutung liegt darin, neue Erkenntnisse zu generieren, kritisch zu bewerten und in konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen zu übersetzen – für Ärzte, Therapeuten, Politik und nicht zuletzt die Bevölkerung selbst. Und das gerade in Zeiten, in denen die Prävalenzen nichtübertragbarer Erkrankungen ansteigen.
