"Applied Sports Physiotherapy" was created with the aim of serving as a source of knowledge, providing the modern sports physiotherapist with the ability to take a holistic approach to the injured athlete through the critical use of current research evidence (evidence-based practice). This book, written by health science experts (academics and clinicians), offers detailed and documented guidance for every step of the physiotherapy of sports injuries, from the moment of injury to the reintegration of the athlete into the normal training program. Based on contemporary scientific documentation, it provides precise information: a) for providing first aid in competitive settings b) for physiotherapy techniques and methods in the physiotherapy laboratory c) for functional rehabilitation techniques in competitive environments.

This information is presented to the reader with easy-to-read texts, analytical tables, specialized clinical physiotherapy programs, and a wealth of (over 1,400) original diagrams and images. Another significant innovation in this book lies in the detailed description of the functional rehabilitation of sports injuries, along with the integration of modern rehabilitation techniques (plyometrics, skipping exercises, trx training systems, bosu trainer, body blade, powerbags, kettlebells), applications that are proposed for the first time in the international literature. The clinical description of accelerated and aggressive physiotherapy programs combined with classical physiotherapy protocols represents another novelty, allowing the physiotherapist to choose the desired therapeutic approach each time.
