5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sports Medicine text, Sep 4 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Textbook of Running Medicine (Hardcover)
This is a great book, not only for its in depth coverage and clinical pearls about running medicine, but even more so for its broader applicability to the entire spectrum of musculoskeletal and sports medicine....a great addition to any physician's book shelf.
