ABOUT

If you're involved with sports, you know that someone can get hurt in practice, in a game, working out, or just goofing around. You also know that when an injury occcurs a trained health professional is not always immediately at hand to attend to it.

First Aid for Sports Injuries helps amateur athletes, youth sports coaches, parents, teachers, and recreation and camp staff to respond immediately to the most common sports injuries until professional medical personnel can be consulted.

The information is provided as a pocket handbook for equipment bags and first aid kits, a PDF for tablets and eBook readers, and a free web app for mobile devices. The information is derived from reputable, authoritative sources such as the National Library of Medicine.
