Sport and physiotherapy involve issues of pain, including its theoretical, practical and therapy-related aspects. In sportsmen, pain plays an informative role to indicate the maximal load on the organism. In physiotherapy, pain shows the physiological limits of the patient’s current readiness to manage rehabilitation loads. The wide spectrum of problems concerning pain in sport and physiotherapy may, due to advances in biology and medicine, become a new attractive area of scientific research. However, relatively few scientific papers deal with this subject. There are aspects of pain in sport and physiotherapy which remain rather unexplored, such as the effect of exercise on pain reception, the ability to tolerate pain during extreme physical stress, painkiller abuse, including by amateurs, pathophysiology of ischemia, individual sensory perception, and the placebo effect. Also, the synergic effects of physical, pharmacological and psychophysiological factors that modulate variability in pain perception or may have an effect on pain tolerance are not well understood. Better knowledge of this area, in addition to research impact, may have practical applications in the training process of sportsmen as well as persons who are physically active during their working life and after retirement. Pain in sport and physiotherapy can be expected to continue to gain in importance, given, in particular, the increasing number of active elderly people, especially in European countries.
