From carbon fibre racing bikes to sharkskin' swimsuits, the
application of cutting-edge design, technology and engineering has
proved to be a vital ingredient in enhanced sports performance.
This is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of
contemporary sports technology and engineering, providing a
complete overview of academic, professional and industrial
knowledge and technique. The book is divided into four main
sections. The first section introduces the sports industry,
covering research and innovation in sports business and
developments and trends in the design and manufacture of sports
products. The second section covers, in depth, the full range of
sports equipment, from balls to footwear, with each chapter
examining the underpinning engineering science, design principles,
materials and essential standards. The third section looks at
instrumentation and measurement in sport, covering athletes,
equipment and facilities, while the final section explores sports
facilities and sustainable design, and offers case reports on
industrial product design. Written by an international team of
leading experts from industry, academia and commercial research
institutes, the emphasis throughout the book is on innovation, the
relationship between business and science, and the improvement of
sports performance. This is an essential reference for anybody
working in sports technology, sports product design, sports
engineering, biomechanics, ergonomics, sports business or applied
sport science.
