The game of American football may be the greatest team sport that
exists. It epitomizes the need of a "team" first approach to
achieve the desired success. Success is often measured as the
hoisting of a championship trophy, which involved a journey that
required discipline, perseverance, sacrifice, and hard work. These
traits are the backbone of success in football, but more
importantly they are the backbone or blueprint for success in life.
The Science of American Football provides an in-depth discussion on
the physiology of the game of American football, including the
physiological strain associated with playing in various
environmental extremes. Acclimatization, preparation, and medical
issues associated with each of these environmental extremes are
discussed as well as medical issues occurring during the athlete's
playing career (common sites of injury) and potential risks arising
post-career (e.g. neurological dysfunction, arthritic joints,
obesity). The book goes on to consider aspects of player selection
and preparation, including discussion of evidence-based physical
conditioning programs, appropriate nutrition, and specific dietary
supplementation for the American football player. The Science of
American Football is the first book to focus on the physiology,
science, and medical issues associated with the game of American
football and will be key reading for students of coaching and
exercise science as well as those with a keen interest in
understanding the science of American football, such as coaches and
players.
