Reviews

?The editors of the work coordinated the contributions of forty-seven specialists in medical, sports and health science related fields. Recommended for specialists in sports medicine and orthopedics and for medical libraries and academic libraries with kinesiology, physical therapy and sports medicine curriculum.? (E-Streams, September 2008) This is a good read for those with a strong interest in tendinopathy...the book does provide a quality and in-depth summation of the current knowledge. (Doodys Reviews) ...Tendinopathy in athletes will help the medico-scientifi c community to better understand this problem and constitutes themost valuable reference for this medical condition for many years to come. I express my sincere appreciation for the excellent work of the coeditors and contributing authors who participated in this project Dr Jacques Rogge President of the International Olympic Committee
