"This book is a welcome addition to the field of sports medicine and nicely covers a wide range of topics. It provides up-to-date, practical, and theoretical information for those who study or take care of active populations. Busy clinicians will find this to be a helpful reference that they routinely consult."(Scott Paluska, MD, @Doody's Review Service)
