Particular emphasis is placed on such high-interest topics as sports medicine, specifically the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries; pylometric and other athletic training programs; performance-enhancing drugs and drug-testing techniques; and sports psychology, particularly motivational and mental aspects of sport.

Review:

"This two-volume encyclopedia on sports science introduces topics within the field for high school students, readers beginning their studies, and general readers. No background knowledge in science is assumed. A general index is provided in the second volume only."
