Abstract

Conquering Athletic Injuries is the source of complete, reliable, and practical sports medicine information long sought by athletes. Experts from the American Running and Fitness Association (ARFA) describe in clear language how overuse injuries occur, how to recognize and self-treat them, when to seek professional help, and how to prevent future injuries. The book also features extensive cross-references that make it easy to locate information according to the name of the injury, the part of the body affected, or the location of the pain. Conquering Athletic Injuries began as a column in the ARFA newsletter, Running and Fit News, which covers specific sports-related injuries. Twenty-five of the columns best articles are presented here along with 88 new ones. Featuring 111 photographs and exercise programs for 10 sports, Conquering Athletic Injuries is the ultimate reference for anyone interested in recognizing, treating, and preventing overuse injuries.
