Completely revised Second Edition provides a foundation for the prevention,recognition, assessment, management, disposition, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and illnesses as it integrates basic medical concepts with relevant scientific information. This book speaks to students in coaching, exercise science, recreation and teacher education, for learning what to do as the first on-site respondent to a sports-related injury. Guidelines are provided to help identify common conditions initially cared-for on-site, and when to know to refer an individual to advanced care. The text contains major revisions and includes illustrations and additional tables.
