Sports injuries occur as a result of physical activities carried out either for general recreational purposes or with more professional goals in mind.
Sports injuries occur as a result of physical activities carried out either for general recreational purposes or with more professional goals in mind.
They may be caused by accidents or by overuse, and they do not necessarily differ from injuries sustained in non-sporting activities.
Most sports injuries are minor and would not prevent the average athlete from continuing his daily work, but as many people become more seriously committed to sporting activities, continuing daily work is no longer the only consideration. The injury must be treated effectively so that leisure activity can also be resumed at the earliest opportunity.
Those athletes who participate at championship level require not only correct diagnosis of their injuries but also early treatment with complete healing so that they can continue to produce good performances with as short an absence as possible from their sporting activity. Even the more casual enthusiast, upon whom demands are not so great, may suffer both physically and psychologically as a result of minor injuries and may be prevented from pursuing the sport which usually contributes significantly to his sense of well-being and to the quality of his life.
Progress in diagnosis and treatment is rapid in the field of sports medicine, and to keep this book abreast of recent developments we have revised it extensively since it was first written. Our thanks are due to the many people who have contributed their expertise towards this new edition which we hope will satisfy a need in the world of sport and be of use to athletes, their trainers and their medical advisers.
