The book uniquely blends sports medicine research with practical experience, diving into the biomechanics of sports movements to pinpoint risk factors like age and fitness level, providing a foundation for targeted prevention strategies.
Organized by body region, the book systematically guides readers through injury assessment, diagnostic techniques, and evidence-based treatments, ranging from conservative methods to surgical interventions.
Concluding chapters focus on rehabilitation and return-to-play protocols, as well as long-term injury prevention. Case studies provide real-world context, illustrating the application of discussed principles in diverse clinical situations.
This resource integrates knowledge from biomechanics, exercise physiology, and rehabilitation science for a holistic understanding of athletic injuries.
