Abstract:
"Crafted to address educational content areas recently developed by the National Athletic Trainers' Association, the text offers a unique approach that encourages prospective athletic trainers to take a proactive role in caring for athletes." "The text not only provides a theoretical basis of what an athletic trainer does; it also presents valuable information related to the prevention and management of sport injuries and illnesses." "Human Kinetics Athletic Training Education Series contains five outstanding textbooks - each with its own superb supporting instructional resources. Featuring the work of respected athletic training authorities, the series was created to parallel and expound on the content areas established by the NATA Educational Council."
"Introduction to Athletic Training lays the foundation for a well-rounded curriculum addressing the following NATA content areas: Risk Management and Injury Prevention, Acute Care of Injury and Illness, Pharmacology, Professional Development and Responsibilities, and Nutritional Aspects of Athletic Injury and Illness. Also addressed are the content areas of Psychosocial Intervention and Referral and General Medical Conditions and Disabilities."--Jacket.
