After the reorganisation of Vytautas Magnus University (since 1951), the department took care of physical education of students at Kaunas Medical Institute, provided them with knowledge about the peculiarities of physical exercises and mobile activities and the method of application in protecting and strengthening health. In 2003, the name of the department was changed to the Department of Kinesiology and Sports Medicine, from 1 March 2012 \u2013 to the Institute of Sports, from 1 February 2019 \u2013 to the Department of Sports Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1948 to 1975, the department was headed by Dr. M.D. Zigmas Vegertas. For the first time in Lithuania, a sports medicine and physiotherapy course for students and dentists was taught, 4 textbooks of these disciplines were prepared. For almost two decades, the department was headed by the Associate Professor Gerardas \u0160auklys, and since 1993 by Professor Valerijus Jasi\u016bnas. In 2003, the position of the head of the department was entrusted to Prof. Alfonsas Vainoras. From 2012 to 2020, the head of the Department of Sports Medicine was Prof. Rimtautas Gudas.&nbsp;Current Head of the Department of Sports Medicine&nbsp; \u2013 Assoc.
