Arnheim's principles of AT

Product was just as he said it would be. Good condition and arrived very fast.

Arnheims Principles of Athletic training is a great resource.

I am a student Athletic trainer. As such I needed a book that clearly explained the material that I was covering in class and in labs. This book has a lot of very useful information, is easy to read, it is organized well, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone in the field of sports medicine/ athletic training.

The Standard by Which Others are Compared

This huge book, now in its 12th edition was begun in 1963. It is intended for the education of atheletic trainers. Its primary concern is in preventing and when necessary treating sports injuries. This new 12th edition is a major upgrade to the book. It has been extensively reorganized into major sections that have related subject matter concentrated together. In addition, each chapter has been rewritten to reflect the latest techniques, equipment, procedures, and drugs that affect sports medicine. The biggest changes are in chapters devoted to the musculoskeletal injuries. These chapters have beeg significantly expanded and are now as comprehensive as possible within the scope of practice in atheletic training. Finally, each book comes with a license to use the extensive on line support for the book. This is broken into two areas. First is additional information related to each chapter including flash cards, self-quizzes, and other resources. Second is the eSims area which helps students prepare for the atheletic training certification exam. This is the standard in the industry.

This book is Excellent. I use it on a daily basis!

The book is a great for anyone in the exercise field. It is easy to read and straight forward. It covers every aspect of athletic training, rehab, and injury diagnosis.A DEFINITE MUST HAVE!

This is one of the best books an athletic trainer could have

This book is one of the most important books for an athletic trainer. It covers everything that is in each of the 5 different domains of an athletic trainer. Their sections on sports injuries, and treatments are invaluable to anyone who is preparing to sit for the NATA exam. It is fondly termed by those that I know as the "trainer's bible." And that is exactly what it is.
