Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Adventure and extreme sports have developed significantly and gained enormous popularity
over the past two decades, and are now performed by adventurous elite athletes as
well as the recreational adventure sportsman. These sports, by definition, involve
element of increased risk, and are usually performed in beautiful, exciting and remote
locations or in extreme environments, far away from medical assistance. As more and
more people are enjoying adventure sports, unfortunately increased numbers are becoming
injured as a result. Future research is progressing alongside the sport development,
to allow the sport mechanisms, injury patterns and predisposing factors to be better
understood. It is the hope of all researchers to make the sports safer without detracting
from their adventurous nature. This book combines the Editors love to the sports with
their life as sports surgeons. The aim and scope of this text is to bring the 'sports
medicine' involved in each of these sports into one volume. Each sport and discipline
is explained together with their subtle similarities and differences, the common injury
mechanisms, patterns of injury and treatment options and finally, the mental and physiological
aspects of it all. In this book the Editors hope to deliver useful valuable information
to surgeons, physicians, physical therapists and whoever treats or has interest in
these amazing activities
