Description
Sports Biomechanics: Reducing Injury and Improving Performance is the companion volume to Introduction to Sports Biomechanics, also written by Roger Bartlett. This advanced text focuses on third year undergraduate and postgraduate topics and considers the two key issues of sports biomechanics: why injuries occur, how they can be reduced, and how performance can be improved.Part One contains a detailed examination of sports injury, including: properties of biological materials, mechanisms of injury occurrence, risk reduction, and the estimation of forces in biological structures. Part Two concentrates on the biomechanical enhancement of sports performance. Subjects covered in detail are: analysis of sports technique, statistical and mathematical modelling of sports movements and the feedback of results to improve performance.This textbook will prove invaluable for students studying biomechanics in years two and three of a sport science degree, and also for postgraduate students.
First Sentence
This chapter provides a background to the biochemical reasons why injuries occur and an understanding of the properties of materials, including some of the factors that can modify the behaviour of biological materials.
