Injury prevention for athletes

Preventing injuries and overuse injuries while achieving good sporting results - this should be one of the basic tasks of performance and recreational athletes, coaches and sport managers. The author's team of experienced orthopaedic surgeons presents readers with a kind of "cookbook" listing the most common injuries and overloads. These are mainly injuries to the upper and lower limbs, of the head and cervical spine, a description of the symptoms of the injury, basic treatment on the sports field, follow-up treatment, prevention and rehabilitation. An important part of this unique publication is the illustrative demonstration of twenty-three specific taping techniques - one of the options for injury prevention - and sixty-four illustrated exercises that an athlete can perform on his or her own as part of rehabilitation after an injury.
