Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Dana J Lawrence, DC, MMedEd, MA (Parker University)
Description: This book nicely captures the training and rehabilitation necessary for effective sports performance. It first provides a good introduction to functional assessment, movement patterns, and evaluation before providing sports-specific information for many popular sports. It also includes a link for its ebook companion, with a number of good add-ons such as quick-reference tabbing.
Purpose: The book emphasizes functional training over body part isolation. Thus, the focus is on the whole body, and on its movement and assessment. The aim is to bridge the gap between training and rehabilitation, as well as coaching, so that athletes can return to play. The goal is to build capacity on a foundation of high-quality movement to optimize biomechanics of the body. Such a book has long been needed as more people at all levels of ability engage in sports.
Audience: Practitioners who work with the musculoskeletal system of athletes are the intended audience. It will find a good home with practitioners, but should be used by students as well. Trainers and coaches also will find the book useful. Dr. Liebenson is a leading authority on rehabilitation and trained with master specialists in Europe.
Features: The first of the book's five main sections addresses fundamentals of rehabilitation and clinical examination and assessment of the locomotor system. Each of the sport-specific chapters in the second section provides detailed information on both preparation and rehabilitation issues related to that sport. The third section covers strength and conditioning training, while the fourth covers regional considerations (rather than sport-specific ones). The last section covers motor control and athletic development. The book is attractive and amply illustrated with many color and black-and-white photographs. The ebook version is accessible with a code provided in the print book.
Assessment: The level of detail in this book is impressive. Many authors contribute to this book, some of whom clearly have expertise in a single sport. As an example, the chapter on bicycling discusses the importance of proper fit for the bike, a critical element of ensuring proper mechanics that is often overlooked. Each chapter has this level of depth. Another positive attribute is that the book focuses on athletes at all stages of expertise and at different age ranges, from childhood to older adulthood. The numerous illustrations do a fine job of depicting the procedures the book describes. This is an appealing, well-designed book. The addition of the ebook is quite useful, especially because it provides additional tools, such as an indexing tool and a highlighting tool.
