The text then addresses the fundamentals of rehabilitation, injury prevention, and return-to-play criteria, including psychological aspects.

The fifth edition covers the latest developments in athletic training regarding treatment, care, and prevention of injuries; administration; and certification. Updated and expanded content includes information on head injury diagnosis and management, new treatment modalities, new taping techniques, and the effects of therapeutic, recreational, and performance-enhancing drug use.

Other learning-friendly features in this edition include the following:

• Red Flags, which warn of potentially hazardous situations
• What Would You Do If . . . features, which present students with complex scenarios to test their decision making in life-threatening situations

• A robust teacher guide with activities, assignments, and tests to support classroom instruction
• A student web resource with 28 step-by-step worksheets for performing specific tasks, activities that provide hands-on experience, and a semester-long project for building practical skills

Authors Cartwright and Peer provide comprehensive coverage of topics in 35 chapters, organized into nine units; a glossary; an index; and an exhaustive list of updated references that attests to the authoritativeness of the information provided.
