The World Health Organization's recently published Global Report on
Drowning found that drowning is the third leading cause of
unintentional injury death worldwide-making the information
presented in this new book an important part of the global effort
to reduce this health risk. Written by leading researchers and
academics from around the world, The Science of Beach Lifeguarding
focuses on the scientific evidence that underpins what is taught to
and practised by beach lifeguards. It is the first book to pull
together all the different areas involved in beach lifeguarding and
evaluate their evidence base. An accessible and informative
reference underpinned by the best current research, the book's key
themes cover the context of beach lifeguarding, the physical
environment in which lifeguards work, medical aspects, practical
lifeguarding techniques, physiological standards for lifeguards,
safety education, and future developments in beach lifeguarding.
The book presents groundbreaking work quantifying the scientific
rationale behind a universally accepted fitness standard. It
supplies an in-depth examination of the risks and hazards
associated with the beach environment, including rip currents and
cold water immersion. The book includes a state-of-the-art review
of drowning and a comprehensive chapter on first aid. Detailing the
recently announced 2015 European Resuscitation Council Guidelines,
this book is a must-have for beach lifeguards, beach lifeguard
managers, search and rescue personnel, paramedics, sports
scientists, health and safety practitioners, and occupational
health practitioners.
