Feature Summary
Emphasizes the role of the coach and considers the responsibilities that likely fall to the coach when no athletic trainer is part of the team--e.g. undertaking CPR certification, interacting with parents and physicians, developing training and conditioning programs to minimize injury as well as emergency action plans, and keeping injured athletes involved with the team.
Includes "Athletic Injury Management Checklists," a checklist featured in selected chapters to help the coach organize and prepare for specific procedures.
Features separate chapters on key topics such as young athletes and injury prevention, legal liability and insurance, and bloodborne pathogens and the universal precautions necessary in the athletic environment.
In each chapter, critical thinking exercises provide relevant brief case studies and help students to apply the content just learned. Solutions appear at the end of the chapters.
Lists of websites at the end of appropriate chapters invite students to explore additional resources.
Bulleted chapter summaries and pronunciation guides for selected terms help with test preparation and reinforce learning.
