Now in a fully updated and revised new edition, this is still the
only up-to-date, practical guide to the use of technology in sport
and exercise biomechanics. It includes detailed explanations of the
key theory underlying biomechanics testing and measurement, along
with advice concerning choice of equipment and using equipment
effectively. The second edition includes two completely new
chapters, on qualitative movement analysis and the assessment of
movement coordination, and covers every key functional area in the
biomechanics curriculum, including: motion analysis using video and
on-line systems measurement of force and pressure measurement of
power using isokinetic dynamometry electromyography computational
simulation and modelling of human movement research methodologies
data processing Published in association with the British
Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES), the book
includes contributions from world leading researchers and pioneers
in the field of sport and exercise biomechanics.Biomechanical
Evaluation of Movement in Sport and Exercise is a must-have text
for all biomechanics laboratories and for any student undertaking a
research project or taking a course in methods, measurement or
analysis in biomechanics.
This is the clearest and most straightforward biomechanics textbook
currently available. By breaking down the challenging subject of
sport and exercise biomechanics into short thematic sections, it
enables students to grasp each topic quickly and easily, and
provides lecturers with a flexible resource that they can use to
support any introductory course on biomechanics. The book contains
a wealth of useful features for teaching and learning, including
clear definitions of key terms, lots of applied examples, guides to
further reading, and revision questions with worked solutions. It
has been significantly expanded to encompass rapidly developing
areas, such as sports equipment design and modern optoelectronic
motion analysis systems, and it includes a number of new sections
that further develop the application of biomechanics in sports
performance and injury prevention. A new companion website includes
a test bank, downloadable illustrations and, where appropriate,
suggestions for learning outcomes and/or lab-based sessions for
lecturers. Instant Notes in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics has
been an invaluable course companion for thousands of students and
lecturers over the last decade. Engaging, direct, and now fully
refreshed, it is the only biomechanics textbook you'll ever need.
