A thorough update of the standard reference in the field, the Second Edition of the much praised Oxford Textbook of Sports Medicine has been fully revised and restructured to make it even more user-friendly and comprehensive. The book covers: the principles of sports physiology and internal medicine as far as they relate to athletic performance; orthopedics and injuries to the soft tissues; and the physiological basis of fitness and training. A distinguished international panel of expert authors and editors provides a global, multidisciplinary approach to the subject with a very practical emphasis. New to this edition are sections on body composition, mechanical tests, the immunological aspects of sport, and overtraining.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
" ... will be of major interest to all of those who are concerned with or who have made a career with caring for the injured athlete ... will provide an ideal knowledge base for students of sports medicine, particularly those who are university based. ... this is an excellent book ...should be in the library of all sports medicine departments in Canadian universities and will be helpful as a reference text for all physicians, athletic trainers and others who are interested in sports medicine or who look after an athletic team at any level." Canadian Journal of Surgery (April 1999)
`'This is a superb and outstanding reference book which any medic with a serious interest in sports medicine would love to own...this comprehensive single volume textbook seems to voer in great detail, every imagninable aspect of sports medicine. So this book is aimed at a doctor with a special interst in sports medicine. It is too detailed and probably too expensive for the average GP's requirements. Even so, unusually for a textbook, it is interesting and enjoyable enough to dip in for a leisurely read.'' Dr Harry Brown, Jnl of Family Medicine.
`'The publication of the first edition of this Oxford textbook marked the establishment of sports medicine as more than just a fringe speciality. It stood out as an authoritative text among the many other publications of the time. Many rheumatolgists have developed an interest in the medicine of sport and exercise, and this is an esential reading and reference text for them....The second edition has built on the high standards of the first....a comprehensive and high quality textbook which I feel can justifiably call itself the main reference text in sports medicine now'' Dr j David Perry, Consultant Rheumatologist, Royal London Hospital

Sports Medicine? It's here! Very Good!,
By Marcelo de Oliveira Dietrich (Saint Leopoldo, RS Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Textbook of Sports Medicine (Oxford Medical Publications) (Hardcover)
This edition goes with excellent design, making of "Oxford Textbook of Sports Medicine" an intellectual and didactic attractive. Moreover, in this second edition the sections are reviewed, having important topics for physicians and all people interesting in sports medicine. The chapters are completes and concise in the same time, a great point for the editors, authors and principally for readers. In the beginning, the book presents a brief review of exercise physiology, following with general topics in sports as nutrition and growing. After, some chapters show for the reader some of the most common injuries in sports, having special considerations the injuries in ankle and knee. The last chapters describe about special populations in sports, as women in pregnancy and elders. I really recommend this book.
