Contains nearly 50 contributions which address the medical conditions that afflict athletes of all ages. Divided into three sections, chapters cover infectious problems in athletes; cardiologic and other regional medical conditions and chronic illnesses; and special medical problems in the athlete, from hypothermia and envenomation to exercise during pregnancy. An introduction addresses medical assessment for every athlete prior to sports participation and is intended to serve as a guide for primary care physicians and sports physicians.
