"Sports injuries are injuries that occur to athletes in major sporting events. In many cases, these types of injuries are due to overuse of a part of the body when participating in a certain activity. For example, runner's knee is a painful condition generally associated with running. Other types of injuries can be caused by a hard contact with something. This can often cause a broken bone or torn ligament or tendon. Injuries are a common occurrence in professional sports and most teams have a staff of athletic trainers and close connections to the medical community. The present book entitled Prevention and Treatment of Sports Injuries focuses on all aspects of sports injuries. The text are arranged in a lucid form and written in simple colloquial English language. The book covers all those areas which go to make the foundation of sports injuries as a process, profession and academic discipline. Hopefully the present book will be useful for the students and teachers of physical education and sports and sports persons."--Back cover.
