"For the health professional or sports scientist wanting a comprehensive textbook on the whole of sports medicine, this is a good book to have. The Olympic Book of Sports Medicine should certainly be standard reading for anyone taking a Diploma in Sports Medicine." British Journal of Sports Medicine';
"There may never be another book quite like it. The Olympic Committee, together with the International Federation of Sports Medicine - which was set up, believe it or not, 60 years ago - have collaborated with Blackwell Scientific to produce a grand, commemorative first volume of an encyclopaedia of sports medicine. It contains much science and a dash of history and is to be formally published as the flame leaps into life at the stadium in Seoul. It is a mark, in some senses, of human advance, not of times or achievements but of knowledge and techniques. This first volume is a general compendium, noting the way science is reaching into all aspects of sports training and medicine." The Guardian
"This is a most enjoyable book to read as well as to study, and is very strongly recommended to any Team Doctor looking after a team in residence, as well as his supporting staff of physiotherapists, chiropodists and nurses. Much is also of relevance to team managers and games organisers... I consider it good value." British Journal of Sports Medicine.
