Exercise science and sports medicine deal with services and treatments availed by athletes who perform under high-levels of stress and intensity. This book deals with topics that are concerned with overall training, rigor and exercise practices that aim for optimum levels of health for athletes. Regular training and exercise cause tissue and nerve damage as well as nutritional drain that must be replenished through diet, medicine and physiotherapy. This book presents the complex subject of exercise science and sports medicine in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. From theories to research and practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance of the field have been included in this book. Those with an interest in sports medicine field would find this book helpful. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
