Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science,

'This new addition to the Handbook series, written by internationally recognized experts, achieves a harmonious integration of basic and applied information in an easy-to-read and practical way. Key aspects covered include physiology and biomechanics, nutrition, injury prevention and rehabilitation and the role of the medical professional. Also dealt with in detail are special considerations, such as training the young or disabled player; and performance enhancement. This handbook will help to improve the medical care delivered to all volleyball athletes and as such will be of value to sports physicians, coaches, therapists, competitors and others interested in the sport.'
