Allan M. Levy, who has been team physician for the New York Giants, and Mark L. Fuerst, health journalist, bring their professional expertise to the amateur athlete with SPORTS INJURY HANDBOOK. This practical guide addresses both prevention and treatment to aid the user in virtually every imaginable sporting situation. A section dealing with the body from top to bottom gives tips for avoiding or handling injuries common to each area, while the section devoted to individual sports covers mishaps that may happen in a myriad of activities from aerobics to wrestling. Levy and Fuerst also include nutrition, conditioning, and strength-training hints for a thorough introduction to how the pros do it, and there is individualized instruction for women, children, and the elderly. With a generous helping of tales from Levy's extensive tenure in professional sports training to spice up the instruction, SPORTS INJURY HANDBOOK will coach even rank beginners into the safest possible enjoyment of their chosen sporting activities.
