Description

This comprehensive set covers every aspect of sports medicine, from how to play healthy to how to pursue a career in this varied field. The groundbreaking, three-volume Praeger Handbook of Sports Medicine and Athlete Health introduces readers to sports medicine and explains what we can do to prevent or recover from sports injuries—of body or mind. The astoundingly comprehensive set is chock full of everything anyone would want to know about the subject, from how to pursue a career in sports medicine to how to understand, treat, and avoid various injuries and psychological problems that may arise from participation. Volume 1, Sports Medicine History, Careers offers personal descriptions of the career path of professionals in sports medicine, covering virtually all of the numerous specialties. Volume 2, Athlete Health, Injuries, and Prevention is focused around specific injury locations with accessibly written descriptions of the anatomical location, how injuries happen, and how the injury is treated. Volume 3, Athlete Mental Health serves as a broad survey and discussion of everything from teamwork to performance anxiety, body-image distortion, family pressures, and issues associated with aging.
