Safety in Ice Hockey (v. 4)

The latest volume in this ongoing series enhances your understanding of both the injuries incurred in the game of ice hockey and the techniques used to decrease the risk of these injuries. Twenty-three peer-reviewed papers address a diverse range of sports science, sports medicine, athletic training, biomechanics, risk factor management, epidemiology, sports psychology, injury surveillance, sports equipment standards, physical conditioning, behavioral factors in sports, as well as case reports from individuals associated with national sports governing bodies, playing facilities, officiating, and playing rules. Equally important, this new publication also discusses strategies of prevention, including protective equipment; different approaches to managing the conduct of players, coaches and parents; and better implementation of training and conditioning.

Four sections cover:

Measures of Injury

Head Protection and Concussions

Sportsmanship and Social Issues

Training and Performance Management
