Summary:"The Healthy body Handbook was written for all active adults, who often experience sports injuries simply from overdoing an exercise routine or after rushing into a sport after a period of relative inactivity. It will help you understand the basic structure and function of the musculoskeletal system of the human body, and is written in language easily understood by the layperson, with numerous illustrations. This knowledge will enable you to be proactive about your health, make positive lifestyle choices, prevent injuries, and participate fully in the healing of injuries - especially those that are sports-related." "Individual chapters are self-contained, so that they can be read independent of others if you are concerned with a specific medical condition, or can be read cover-to-cover if you want to know everything you can do to stay healthy and avoid injury. The Healthy Body Handbook stresses the lifelong necessity of exercise without overdoing it and the need to commit to good health for the achievement of a long, balanced, and fulfilling life."--Jacket.
