1. Etiology
In this chapter, the instructor reviews the most commonly cited theories of EAMC etiology in research. Research that supports each theory is provided. Understanding possible etiologies of EAMC provides the support to using traditional and nontraditional (emerging) treatment strategies.
2. Epidemiology
Research from athlete and military populations that relates to each etiologic theory is presented. Risk factors that can be identified from the results will be selected, and the most likely clinical scenario for EAMC will be discussed.
3. Recognition
In this chapter, the instructor reviews typical signs and symptoms of EAMC, and important signs that differentiate EAMC from similar conditions (e.g., exertional sickling).
4. Traditional Treatment and Prevention
Traditional treatments (e.g., stretching) and prevention strategies recommended in a consensus statement for EAMC are reviewed, with research support. Determination of when advanced medical care may be needed for EAMC is presented. Intravenous and oral hydration in the treatment of EAMC are compared.
5. Nontraditional Treatment and Prevention
Nontraditional, or emerging, treatments and prevention strategies for EAMC will be introduced, with research support if it exists. The foundation of how to develop an individualized plan of care for individuals with a history of EAMC using traditional and nontraditional treatments and prevention strategies is provided.
