Textbook of Sports Medicine: Basic Science and Clinical Aspects of Sports Injury and Physical Activity

This major new work has been written to meet the needs of doctors and other health professionals treating and caring for athletes. It provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of sports and exercise physiology, injury and training at the highest possible level. Over a hundred of the world’s leading authorities within exercise physiology, clinical internal medicine, sports medicine and traumatology have contributed evidence–based chapters to provide a complete account of sports medicine and science.

The book surveys the existing literature and identifies where further scientific investigations are needed. This will be an ideal book for both educational programs at university level in exercise science and sports medicine and as a reference for practitioners. The book will also serve as an excellent introduction to research in the field of sports medicine.
