Introduction
A s sports participation rates increase, so does the occurrence of sport-related injury. As a consequence, there is a need for detailed, easy-to-understand reference books on the prevention, treatment and management of sports injury.
Whilst there are many books dealing with this subject, very few present detailed anatomical information in a way that is easy to understand for everyone from the weekend warrior to the professional athlete; from the first-year personal trainer to the seasoned sports coach or from the recent university graduate to the accomplished sports doctor.
Combining real-life practical experience with detailed theory, Brad Walker presents complex prevention, treatment and management strategies in a way that everyone can understand. Full-color illustrations provide a visual aid to the workings of the human body during the sports injury management process. The expert yet easy-to-follow information will help the reader prevent sports injury, and in the event that an injury does occur help to treat it effectively, allowing a return to activity in as little time as possible.
The Anatomy of Sports Injuries looks at sport-related injury from every angle. a comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation process is outlined to ensure a quick and complete recovery.
provide a detailed overview of 120 sports injuries in an easy-to-locate format. Divided into key areas of the body, each sports injury is described by: the anatomy and physiology involved, possible causes, signs and symptoms, complications, immediate treatment, rehabilitation procedures and long-term prognosis.
Aimed at fitness enthusiasts and health-care professionals of all levels, The Anatomy of Sports Injuries also provides strength and flexibility exercises to aid with sports injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. These exercises are by no means exhaustive and merely provide guidance. Consult a healthcare professional for a tailor-made programme to suit your individual needs.
