Medicine, Sport and the Body by Neil Carter Pdf

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. What role does sports medicine play in today's society? Is it solely about treating sports injuries? Should it only be concerned with elite sport? This book provides a history of the relationship between sport, medicine and health from the mid-19th century to today. It combines the sub-disciplines of the history of medicine and the history of sport to give a balanced analysis of the role of medicine in sport and how this has evolved over the past two centuries. In an age where sports medicine plays an increasingly prominent role in both elite and recreational sport, this book provides a timely and clear analysis of its rise and purpose.

Sport, Medicine and Health by Dominic Malcolm Pdf

The relationship between sport, medicine and health in our society is becoming increasingly complex. This important and timely study explores this relationship through an analysis of changing political economies, altered perceptions of the body and science’s developing contribution to the human condition. Surveying the various ways in which medicine interacts with the world of sport, it examines the changing practices and purposes of sports medicine today. Drawing on the latest research in the sociology of sport, this book investigates the scientific discourse underlying the promotion of physical activity to reveal the political context in which medical knowledge and public policies emerge. It considers the incongruities between these policies and their attempts to regulate the supply of and demand for sports medicine. Through a series of original case studies, this book exposes the social construction of sports medical knowledge and questions the potential for medicine to influence athletes’ well-being both positively and negatively. Sport, Medicine and Health: The medicalization of sport? provides valuable insights for all students and scholars interested in sports medicine, sports policy, public health and the sociology of sport.

Sports Medicine by Eugene Sherry,Des Bokor Pdf

With increasing numbers of people taking part in regular, organised sporting activity, and the technological advances which are constantly pushing back the frontiers of individual sporting achievement, and testing the human body to its limits, the science of sports medicine has flourished in recent years. Sports Medicine: Problems and Practical Management draws on the vast experience of its editors and authors to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art guide to the diagnosis and management of the full range of sport injuries which might be encountered. Whilst focusing primarily on the practical aspects of clinical diagnosis and treatment (the guidelines provided throughout represent the standards of care which have been developed for the treatment of athletes in the year 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia), the scientific underpinnings of the specialty, which form an essential part of the knowledge base of the modern sports medicine practitioner, are also covered in detail. Uniquely, the book also places physical exercise in an environmental context. Profusely illustrated throughout, this book will prove invaluable not only to specialists in sports medicine, but also to the general orthopaedic surgeon and physician, as well as the general practitioner or physiotherapist.

Combat Sports Medicine by Ramin Kordi,Nicola Maffulli,Randall R. Wroble,W. Angus Wallace Pdf

Sports medicine and sports science are relatively new and rapidly developing fields of knowledge. During the past 2 decades, a significant body of scientific knowledge has been published in these areas. However, there is a demand for practical ref- ences which address sports medicine and science in the context of different sports. This demand is higher in some sports including combat sports, which are highly physically and mentally demanding, and cause challenging issues such as risk of blood-borne infections, weight reduction, head injuries, stress management, and safety for women and children. This book has been developed to meet the needs of the practitioners who work with combat sports athletes in order to improve their health and performance. Combat sports include four Olympic sports (boxing, wrestling, judo, and t- kwondo) and other popular sports such as karate, kick boxing, and Wushu. These sports are popular in most countries of the world, both at competitive and rec- ational levels. Combat sports are practiced by people of different ages for a variety of reasons such as to gain fitness and health benefits and to learn self-defense.
