Editorial Reviews

Review

Reviewer's Quote: The Fun Facts may be my favorite part of the book. All of them were very interesting and different. They are always good for discussion and give the reader a slight break from the material but still keep it relevant to the subject. - Robert Maxwell. M.A. Exercise Physiology; ACSM CPT; Director of Sports Medicine and Fitness Technology; Keiser University, Daytona Beach Campus.

Reviewer's Quote: I would absolutely recommend the adoption of the new edition of this book! I really like this textbook. I think it has great information that is presented in an easy to follow format that is welcoming for entry level fitness professionals. - Kasey M. Lloyd, M.S., Program Director, Keiser University, Lakeland Campus, Sports Medicine & Fitness Technology --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

This review is from: Introduction to Sports Medicine & Athletic Training (Hardcover)

im currently using this book in the classroom with none other than Mr. France as the teacher! i find his book far superior to other sports medicine books that we have used. it is extremely informative and is very easy to use and learn from. there is a ton of busy work that can be done in the book, which tends to be slightly annoying at times, but is a very useful learning tool! if you havent already purchase this amazing novel!
