Catastrophic injuries in high school and college sports

Providing extensive recommendations for reducing serious injuries and preventing deaths in athletic programmes, this text aims to make sport safer and more enjoyable. Data has been compiled from more than ten years of study by The National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research. The authors discuss what types of injuries are most prevalent, who sustains the injuries, and why and where they occur. The work includes both men's and women's individual and team sports. Case reports of serious injuries at the high school and college level are also studied. Each chapter concludes with references and a table of relevant statistics.
