How can we predict the trajectory of a baseball from bat to
outfield? How do the dimples in a golf ball influence its flight
from tee to pin? What forces determine the path of a soccer ball
steered over a defensive wall by an elite player? An understanding
of the physical processes involved in throwing, hitting, firing and
releasing sporting projectiles is essential for a full
understanding of the science that underpins sport. This is the
first book to comprehensively examine those processes and to
explain the factors governing the trajectories of sporting
projectiles once they are set in motion. From a serve in tennis to
the flight of a 'human projectile' over a high jump bar, this book
explains the universal physical and mathematical principles
governing movement in sport, and then shows how those principles
are applied in specific sporting contexts. Divided into two
sections, addressing theory and application respectively, the book
explores key concepts such as: friction, spin, drag, impact and
bounce computer and mathematical modelling variable sensitivity the
design of sports equipment materials science. Richly illustrated
throughout, and containing a wealth of research data as well as
worked equations and examples, this book is essential reading for
all serious students of sports biomechanics, sports engineering,
sports technology, sports equipment design and sports performance
analysis.
