Projects carried out from 2016 to 2020

  • Publication of the first international technical reference text on the integrated approach to extreme sports, entitled Extreme Sports Medicine (Ed. Springer 2016); This has been an editorial success with over 83,000 downloads.

These publications serve as reference works for some sports (e.g.: paramotor, kite buggy) or for some themes (overuse injuries in kitesurfing).
