Current issues in sports and exercise medicine

---

Survival of the human species is in no small way associated with the tremendous exercise attributes of Homo sapiens honed by evolutionary pressure over millions of years. What other mammal can not only survive but thrive in environments from the bitter cold of the Arctic to the blistering heat of the Sahara. What other animal can push itself to such physical extremes as the human. Although our bodies have adapted over millions of years of evolution, we are still prone to injury and breakdown. Sports, particularly professional sportspeople push their bodies to the limit and over the limit in some cases, resulting in injury and tissue disruption. The first section of this book looks at what happens when injury strikes and describes some of the current issues and novel therapies for sports injuries.
