Running, walking, jumping, and throwing form the basis and key compo-
nents of several sports and physical activity in general. Indeed, almost every-
one has practised Athletics once in their life at school, college, or later, and
enjoyed watching or taking part in competition in Athletics. As a result,
Athletics is the number one sport at the Summer Olympic Games.
Whether at recreational or elite level, regular practice of Athletics is some-
times associated with musculoskeletal injuries; some of them being event-­
specific. Because of its unique universal nature, medicine of Athletics also
faces a paradoxical situation where top performers in this sport often live and
train in countries where sports medicine is either underdeveloped or simply
does not exist.
Therefore, it is important for coaches, sports physicians, orthopaedic sur-
geons, and physiotherapists to know about the basics and the latest develop-
ments in the Management of Track and Field Injuries.
This is what the present book is about and, as the Director of the Health
and Science Department at World Athletics and a former member of the
ISAKOS, I strongly support such a publication which will for sure help to
raise awareness and disseminate knowledge on Athletics injuries among
health professionals.
