In the years since the late physician [[runners:sheehan george|George Sheehan]] began to celebrate virtues and values of his much loved sport in classic guides such as "[[books:Dr. Sheehan on Running|Dr. Sheehan on Running]]", the doctor's favorite athletic activity has only grown in popularity. Now practiced by approximately thirty million people in the United States alone, running is not only a source of improved fitness for about one-tenth of the population, it is also one of the most common cause of injury presented to clinicians. Yet this is the first book to offer in-depth clinical coverage of the medical needs of runners. Supplanting the scattered and often imprecise information found in [[terminology:orthopedic|orthopedics]] manuals and general sports medicine texts, this authoritative and expert-authored medical resource, in its almost seven hundreds pages, features the most extensive source of running-injury management expertise to be found anywhere. Also offers details on running-injury commonalities, diagnosis and treatment; in-depth coverage of injuries most often incurred in specific types of running such as [[terminology:sprint|sprinting]] and [[terminology:marathon|marathoning]]; rehabilitation guidelines; surgical considerations; coverage of running-injury-related medical problems; valued strategies to help patients continue running and training during recovery; injury-prevention regimens and tips that can also help trainers, coaches, and runners themselves. This valuable publication by [[runners:O'Connor Francis|Francis G. O'Connor]] and [[runners:wilder robert|Robert P. Wilder]] is illustrated by more than 150 exceptionally informative line drawings and photographs.
