Here's the information students need to know about how drugs work and how they
can affect athletic performance. Through "real life" scenarios, students
gain insights into the application of pharmacology in their clinical
practice—from assisting an athlete who is taking a new medication to
recognizing drug-related side effects when a negative reaction is
occurring to handling instances of drug abuse.
Beginning with an overview of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, the text presents prescription
and over-the-counter medications in relation to the injuries or health
conditions athletic trainers commonly encounter. Frequently abused
substances such as amphetamines, herbals, and anabolic
steroids are also addressed. Legal and ethical issues of drug use are
presented, such as HIPAA–mandated privacy issues, drug testing, and
which drugs are deemed as acceptable or banned according to NCAA
and US Olympic standards
