Research contributions from faculty in the Department of Sports Medicine and Athletic Training (SMAT) at Missouri State University dominated the content of the most recent edition of the Athletic Training Education Journal (ATEJ).
ATEJ is a scholarly journal that comes out quarterly. It serves to advance the field of athletic training pertaining to didactic and clinical education, design, and assessment. Faculty members in University positions are both required and encouraged to participate in scholarship activities. Simply defined, scholarship means the faculty member will research and study a particular topic(s) related to their field or professional interests. Then they will share their research through things such as peer-reviewed publications and presentations.
The following peer-reviewed original research articles were published in the most recent issue of ATEJ.
