Medical Aspects of Amateur Boxing
This booklet is a summary of the rules, recommendations and advice relating to the medical aspects of amateur boxing in England. It is an attempt to present relevant information in a single cover to aid club and ABA officials and medical officers in the care of their boxers and the promotion of the sport.
The booklet includes an introduction to the sport of boxing for the benefit of doctors newly involved with the sport. We hope it will help them to appreciate its ethos. Similarly, the section on general medical matters is directed towards coaches and other officials of the ABA of England Ltd. to give them some advice on the treatment of specific injuries, general hygiene, diet and so on, and to inform them of the various medical facilities so that they may make better use of them.
This version is currently being revised and updated and will soon be replaced. It is a guide and is not comprehensive.
