Recenzijas
It is appropriate both for athletic training students in athletic training educational programs and as a reference book for certified athletic trainers. It emphasizes the clinical recognition and management of non-orthopedic pathology, which allows athletic trainers to recognize systemic illnesses and injuries."
- SirReadaLot.org This is an important resource to help new or seasoned athletic trainers recognize and understand the underlying pathology and the role of overall health on injury and management. The online content adds valuable learning opportunities. This edition places more focus on learning objectives from the NATA position statements and on the decision-making process as a whole.
