Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Kurt M Lawton, DO (Medical College of Wisconsin)
Description: The book reviews the fundamental topics of sports medicine. It efficiently summarizes key concepts of basic biochemistry, nutrition, and energy expenditure before reviewing the most common pathology of the musculoskeletal system and other health issues a physician may encounter when caring for athletes.
Purpose: The book's purpose is to offer readers an efficient resource for reviewing key concepts of sport and exercise medicine. This is a worthy objective, as sports and exercises medicine are not major topics in American medical education and are an area where many physicians feel overwhelmed. The book serves as an excellent resource to quickly review a topic and identify any fundamental knowledge gaps the reader may have. While it is not a comprehensive resource for any single topic, it masterfully excels in its designed purpose as an overview.
Audience: This book is written for any medical practitioners who will likely care for an athlete at some point in their career. For those who will not regularly see athletes, it will be an excellent resource for quick review. For those who will regularly see athletes, this book can serve well as a cover to cover read to ensure there are no major gaps in practitioners' fundamental knowledge. The primary authors are credible experts in sports medicine.
Features: This book is a concise, yet thorough, review of the fundamentals of sports medicine. It covers both basic sciences and fundamental topics of exercise science, as well as the major clinical considerations of all the major joints and body systems that impact the health of an athlete. The book has many illustrations which effectively aid the concise nature of each chapter and often summarize cumbersome concepts efficiently. The book also ends each chapter with a short multiple-choice quiz. This helps ensure understanding as each question has an explanation of why the answer is correct. This book serves best as a review for adult sports and exercise medicine; other resources will serve better for the pediatric population.
Assessment: This book is a valuable contribution to sports and exercise medicine as it effectively serves as a concise, yet thorough review of the fundamentals. Readers may still need to reference other books such as Brukner & Khan's Clinical Sports Medicine, 5th Edition, Brukner et. al. (McGraw Hill, 2017) for a more comprehensive review, but this book serves as a starting point to ensure a thorough base-of-knowledge
