Abstract

This article analyzes anesthesiology in exercise and sports medicine, focusing on its crucial role in treating injuries, conducting orthopedic surgeries, and the rehabilitation process for athletes. The research shows that pain management, the individualized selection of anesthetic agents, and a focus on functional recovery are elements that bring anesthesiologists closer to the realities of sports. The study also discusses the contribution of this specialty to optimizing athlete recovery, addressing the relationship between anesthesia, physical performance, and return to sport. The research also examines ethical, regulatory, and multidisciplinary implications, in addition to gathering clinical evidence through 2021. The results indicate that the role of anesthesiologists is strategic for functional recovery and athlete safety. It is concluded that anesthesiology, when integrated with multidisciplinary practices and guided by ethical and scientific principles, represents an essential component of sports medicine, contributing to the health, performance, and quality of life of those who practice physical activity.
