Description

"The health benefits of sports and physical activity are well known, but what about the possibility of injury? This comprehensive new manual strikes a balance between the risks and rewards, providing pediatrics professionals with a single-source reference for all aspects of childhood athletics. Organized as an easy-to-use guide, the book includes practical procedural information on the preparticipation physical exam, proper nutrition for athletes, and injury management during competition, plus detailed treatments for dozens of athletic injuries. Developed as a cooperative effort between the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons."--(www.aap.org)
