Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)ACL injuries happen up to eight times more freqnently in female atheltes than male athletes of similar competitive level, who are competing in the same sport. This book discusses in detail the more current reserach and theories regarding how these injuries happen, why females have so many more of these types of injuries than males, and talks about ways to possibly prevent a female athlete from sustaining one of these injuries.
This book is written and edited by leaders in the field of ACL injury epidemiology. Being a researcher in this area myself, I having talked with many of the authors of this book, I can say from experience they are the best in the field, though there are a few additional authors that are also in that elite group that could have been included.
The book is mostly well-written and has a gives good, practical examples. It also does a good job of making the research discussed easy to understand for the casual reader. The main reason I got it is because nearly every study released on ACL injuries prior to the end of 2006 is discussed, making it a great reference book.
Every coach of female atheltes and every parent of a female athelte should read this book. It may prevent a twelve-month recovery process and $30,000 injury from happening to an athlete you know. And at the price Amazon has it at, it is a worthy investment.
