\nare classified, with diagrams illustrating the
\nphysiology. There is then an excellent chapter on
\nhow to prevent sports injury including; warm-up,
\ncool-down, FITT principles (frequency, intensity,
\ntime\/type of exercise principles), overtraining,
\nfitness and skill development, stretching and
\nflexibility, and so on. This is a practical guide to
\nhow a training programme can influence the risk of
\ninjury, both positively and negatively. For example,
\n‘exercise breaks the body down, while it is the rest
\nand recovery that makes the body strong and
\nhealthy. Improvements only occur during the time
\nof rest’. This statement highlights how important it
\nis to have a balanced exercise and skydiving
\ntraining schedule that includes rest. A common
\nmistake is overtraining and not allowing the body
\nto rest sufficiently. The book explains how to
\ndevelop a balanced programme and discusses
\nsymptoms of overtraining.<\/p>\nTreatment<\/h1>\n
\nand rehabilitation. Specifically, what to do if
\nyou have an injury and how to regain fitness
\nafterwards. It explains each stage from the first
\nthree minutes, to how to improve over the next
\nthree months. <\/p>\nSpecific Injuries<\/h1>\n
\nraft of different types of injury, from simple blisters
\nto complex shoulder damage. An overview of each
\ninjury shows anatomy and physiology, causes,
\nsymptoms, potential complications, immediate
\ntreatment, rehabilitation and prevention, and long-term
\nprognosis. There are examples of exercises to
\npromote recovery, however the diagrams are quite
\nsmall and difficult to follow. Furthermore some of
\nthe examples show poor technique so be very
\ncareful about following the rehabilitation exercises;
\nhowever these are the only criticisms I have.<\/p>\nWarning!<\/h1>\n
\nan injury, I can’t stress enough how important it is
\nto get a professional diagnosis and treatment
\nprogramme to ensure a speedy recovery. What
\ntends to happen is that you get one injury, which
\nthen leads to a succession of further injuries. However, if you want to increase your knowledge
\naround injury prevention, and understand the risks
\ninvolved with potential injuries, then this book is
\nreally going to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
