The popularization and application of exercise prescription will become an effective and reliable approach to fulfill sports for health promotion. "Function first, early rehabilitation, return to sports" is the principle of treatment and discipline tenet that will lead the sports injury treatment and rehabilitation to achieve great breakthrough in many fields of sports medicine. With the opportunities and challenges, how to consistently identify and follow the right development path in line with our national circumstances requires the determination, perseverance, courage and wisdom of all Chinese sports medicine practitioners.
