Sports-Specific Rehabilitation

A comprehensive resource for focusing on returning injured athletes
to their optimal performance! This book discusses exercise
principles; muscle fatigue, muscle damage, and overtraining concepts;
pathophysiology of overuse injuries; core evaluation in sports-
specific testing; physiological basis of exercise specific to sport;
and special considerations for the athlete. Secial features such as
evidence-based clinical application boxes provide the reader with a
solid body of research upon which to base their practice.
