Book description


The sports medical care of athletes is often wrongly assumed to comprise simply the im- mediate treatment of injuries and of systemic medical problems. The considerable time and the extensive effort devoted by medical and allied health personnel, both to the prevention of injuries and to the rehabilitation of athletes from injuries which curtail or prevent training and competition, are frequently overlooked.
