Morton Dean, a television news correspondent who has stayed athletic well into middle age, covers a new beat with this guide for the over-30 athlete. Co-written with physical therapist Benjamin Gelfand, this book pulls no punches in addressing the hazards faced by a still-enthusiastic jock with an aging body. Dean and Gelfand deal with both prevention and cure. They discuss common injuries (listed by body part and symptoms rather than medical terms, for ease of reference), their probable causes, the best treatments, and ways to steer clear of the ailments in future play. Plenty of medical knowledge meshes with a generous serving of common-sense advice, delivered in a pleasant tone, to make this handbook invaluable for the trainer or athlete. Everyone with a drive to stay active into his or her middle years and beyond will find inspiration, both in Morton's example and in his instructions. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
