Sports medicine is an area of great current interest (and potential remuneration), in part because athletes are more motivated to seek treatment after injury and to expect a perfect outcome than most patients. This compact text presents a pictorial guide to the recognition of injuries and medical problems in sport. Presented in the tried and tested Colour Guides format, with text facing colour illustrations, it gives thorough coverage of both traumatic and medical problems in an outstandingly visual way. Of particular interest are sections on athletes with special needs (the Female Athlete, the Child Athlete, the Older Athlete) plus coverage of topics such as Sport and the Environment. Features: * Handy text on an increasingly important (and remunerative) area * Presented in compact Colour Guides format with text facing colour illustrations * Thorough coverage of both traumatic and medical problems in sport * Contains sections on athletes with special needs
