Athletic training emerged in the early 20th century during the Olympic games as injuries to athletes were traditionally treated by coaches or physicians. The first athletic trainers helped treat injuries and prevent them by teaching techniques to avoid harm. In the 1950s, the National Athletic Trainers' Association was founded to standardize and professionalize the field. It has since expanded certification requirements and educational standards to become an accredited allied health profession.
