ABSTRACT
Athletics play a signicant role in our culture. But whether it is a young child joining their rst soccer team, a weekend warrior trying to recreate their glory days on the basketball court, a master athlete running his or her rst marathon, or a professional athlete playing in the Super Bowl, injuries are inevitable. The team physician has the responsibility to aid these athletes by preventing, identifying, and managing potential injuries during individual, team, and mass participation sporting events (Table 3.1).
