This technically oriented book on medicine as applied to extreme
sports offers broad coverage of the field extending well beyond the
usual focus on major trauma and acute injuries. In addition to the
injuries and diseases associated with individual extreme sports,
this book also addresses the topics of psychology, dermatology,
ophthalmology, infectious diseases, physiology, nutrition,
training, injury prevention strategies, rehabilitation, doping,
treatment in hostile environments, and legal aspects. Innovative
and less frequently considered topics are also discussed, such as
recent advances in protective equipment and materials, the effects
of exposure on whole-body vibration, and cold exposure risk
management. More than 60 of the most authoritative experts from
across the world have contributed to this book, drawing on their
personal experiences and including practical examples whenever
relevant. Both subject matter and illustrations have been selected
with the utmost care, the latter including photographs of
world-class athletes.The book's multidisciplinary approach to the
subject ensures that it will be relevant to a wide readership.
