A leader in the field of children's sports medicine challenges the way in which we handle children's sports and fitness
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Micheli, director of sports medicine at Boston Children's Hospital, and Jenkins, a free-lance writer, do a great job of presenting both the dangers and benefits of youth sports. Practical information to make sports participation enjoyable, valuable, and safe is highlighted. Fitness--cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and nutritional--is covered in layperson's terms and is presented as a lifetime goal, not just a means for successful sport's participation. The chapters devoted to sports injuries, both physical and psychological, should be required reading for every parent and coach of young athletes. This book provides a broader overview than Eric Margenau's Sports Without Pressure ( LJ 6/15/90), which emphasizes psychological aspects. Recommended.
