competition and intense desire to excel in his field leads to unbearable stress for sports persons. More over
physical training and fitness has become an important aspect of any sport.This is the main reason behind

educators from a wide variety of disciplines. Its function is not only curative and rehabilitative, but also
preventative, which may actually be the most important one of all. Now a day this science is developed as a
super specialty branch of the medical science.Importance of sports medicine is therefore increasing day by day.
Āyurveda being a complete science of health care can contribute in this field also. Principles, treatment
modalities, dietetics and drugs of Ayurveda can play very useful and important role in this field. This review
article is an attempt to showcase the role of Ayurveda in the field of Sports.
