Infos

This new volume in the Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine series,
published under the auspices of the International Olympic
Committee, provides a state-of-the- art account of the epidemiology
of injury across a broad spectrum of Olympic sports. The book uses
the public health model in describing the scope of the injury
problem, the associated risk factors, and in evaluating the current
research on injury prevention strategies described in the
literature.

Epidemiology of Injury in Olympic Sports comprehensively
covers what is known about the distribution and determinants of
injury and injury rates in each sport. The editors and contributors
have taken an evidence-based approach and adopted a uniform
methodology to assess the data available. Each chapter is
illustrated with tables which make it easy to examine injury
factors between studies within a sport and between sports.

With contributions from internationally renowned experts, this
is an invaluable reference book for medical doctors, physical
therapists and athletic trainers who serve athletes and sports
teams, and for sports medicine scientists and healthcare
professionals who are interested in the epidemiological study of
injury in sports.
