I. Noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs have attempted to influence a variety of noncontact ACL injury risk factorsII. ACL injuries occur more frequently with the knee in less flexion; III. Gender differences which may predispose female athletes to noncontact ACL injuries; IV. Teaching appropriate jumping/landing techniques is important in ACL injury prevention programs; CYCLING.

I. The key to assessing the injured cyclist is assessing their bike fit and how the rider interacts, statically and dynamically, with their bike. Static bike fits are still quite common though many clinicians (who treat cyclists) and coaches (who train cyclists) are using modern bike fit technology to assess the rider dynamically and how the cyclist interacts with their bike (see section III) for injury prevention and performance enhancement.; II. Static bike fit; III. Dynamic fit; IV. Specific injuries; Recommended Reading; 5. Pharmacology; Therapeutic Drugs.

Sports Medicine: Study Guide and Review for Boards is a comprehensive review text surveying the breadth of nonsurgical sports medicine. Covering topics pertinent to (and found on) the Sports Medicine board examination, the book is intended as a primary study tool for candidates preparing for certification. All of the subject areas tested on the boards are represented including basic science and general procedures; health promotion and preventive aspects; emergency assessment and care; and diagnosis, management, and treatment of the full range of sports-related injuries and conditions.
