A Comprehensive Guide to Sports Physiology and Injury Management, 1st Edition

Sports Physiology and Injury Management: A Clinical and Evidence-Based Approach

Divided into two comprehensive sections—Physiology and Sports Injury Management—this innovative text offers a modern, critical perspective on athletic performance and rehabilitation. Rooted in both clinical application and current research, it bridges the gap between foundational science and real-world practice across a range of sports and activity levels.

Challenging traditional paradigms, the book explores the physiological mechanisms underpinning performance and recovery, and rethinks conventional approaches to diagnosis, treatment planning, and rehabilitation philosophy in sport. With a strong emphasis on practicality, critical appraisal, and interdisciplinary collaboration, this resource brings together global expertise from elite sports settings including the Royal Ballet and Chelsea FC.
