Book excerpt: The third edition of Athletic Training and Sports Medicine is more specifically tailored to the needs of practising athletic trainers and primary care physicians, although educators should find it a useful reference for students. Many of the chapters from the second edition are supplemented and enhanced by new chapters. The major topics covered include: legal issues in sports medicine; injury prevention; evaluating the athlete; physiology of the musculoskeletal system; applied principles in treatment and rehabilitation; the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system; sports psychology; medical conditions; gender specific conditions; and athletes with different abilities.
