The purpose of the The Active Female: Health Issues Throughout the
Lifespan, 2nd Edition is twofold: (1) to increase the awareness of
wellness and fitness issues for active females and their family
members; and (2) to provide an avenue for medical practitioners,
allied health professionals, health educators, and certified
individuals in sports medicine to gain critical, updated knowledge
of a field specific to active females. Part I of the book offers a
foundation to help the reader understand the interrelationship
among body image concerns, the female reproductive cycle, and
musculoskeletal anatomy/physiology of females that makes their
health risks and concerns unique. Reproductive health is discussed
by a prominent researcher in reproduction/endocrinology. An
overview of the Female Athlete Triad which is a syndrome of three
interrelated conditions (isordered eating, menstrual disturbances
and bone loss) is presented in Part II. Physicians and certified
professionals in sports medicine discuss the individual components
of the triad, relating not only to the athletic female but also to
the recreationally active woman throughout the lifespan. In Part
III, Prevention and management of common musculoskeletal injuries
is addressed by a female orthopedic surgeon who sub-specializes in
treating female athletes. Finally, appropriate exercise and
nutritional guidelines for active females are discussed in Parts
IV-V of the book by certified professionals and licensed physicians
in sports medicine. An invaluable addition to the literature, The
Active Female: Health Issues Throughout the Lifespan, 2nd Edition
will be of great interest to physicians, allied health care
practitioners, medical/other wellness educators, and students who
are interested in advancing women's health issues. Sports medicine
specialists, family practitioners, gynecologists, team physicians,
residents in sports medicine, athletic trainers, health educators,
nurses, physicians assistants, physical therapists, sport
psychologists, counselors, athletic trainers, and other members of
the sports medicine team should also find this title of significant
interest.
