Foreword Since the success of earlier editions there has been an inexorable rise in the popularity and participation in sport. Equally inexorably, the numbers of injuries have risen. Most sports involve some risk exposure, which young people need and welcome. It is our duty to frame the rules to minimise the risks of injury. If, however, injury occurs, the medical services must be organised to ensure well researched basic sciences of physiology and biomechanics linked to prompt, precise, and effective treatment. The National Health Service will be the usual and most efficient route of delivery. Sports injuries are best treated in specialised sports injury clinics by doctors with specialist recognition. Until this target is achieved, accident and emergency departments will do the best they can, aided by this book as a guide and friend. Sport for all should go hand in hand with sports medicine. Sports injuries must be better

Mono-fins were introduced in 1972 by a Soviet fin-swimming club and have been used for fin-swimming competitions since. A mono-fin is a type of swim-fin typically used in underwater sports such as fin- swimming, free-diving and underwater orienteering. It consists of a surface attached to both of the diver's feet. The diver's appearance is then reminiscent of a mermaid or merman. By slowly oscillating the surface of the mono-fin when submerged, divers can generate large amounts of thrust even with small or slow movements. This preserves energy which helps when breath holding. : www.pcstraininguk.com ( 07564 448 785 * [email protected] Our Mono-fins • Innovative design holds feet comfortably without pinching, chaffing or straps • Buoyancy of neoprene compensates for the weight of the fin • Light weight & flexible to not restrict ankle movement • High quality dual layer neoprene layers • Ultra-comfortable design • Quick release for safety : www.pcstraininguk.com ( 07564 448 785 * [email protected] Safety first!
