Football Biomechanics explores the latest knowledge of this core
discipline in sport science across all codes of the sport.
Encompassing a variety of styles, including original scientific
studies, syntheses of the latest research, and position statements,
the text offers readers the most up-to-date and comprehensive
reference of the underlying mechanics of high-level football
performance. The book is divided into five parts, covering
fundamental football actions, the biomechanics of direct free
kicks, footwear, biomechanical considerations in skill acquisition
and training, and artificial turf. It bridges the gap between
theory and practice in a variety of key areas such as: ball kicking
mechanics (in soccer and other football codes) ball impact dynamics
aerodynamics of ball flight special techniques (such as the
'knuckle ball shot') by world-famous players the efficacy and
development of footwear biomechanical and motor performance
differences between female and male soccer players artificial turf
from an injury and a performance perspective. Made up of
contributions from leading experts from around the world, Football
Biomechanics is a vital resource for researchers and practitioners
working in all football codes, and useful applied reading for any
sport science student with an interest in football.
Science and Football VII showcases the very latest scientific
research into the variety of sports known as 'football'. These
include soccer, the national codes (American football, Australian
rules football and Gaelic football), and the rugby codes (union and
league). Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book is
by far the most comprehensive collection of current research into
football, presenting important new work in key areas such as:
physiology of training performance analysis fitness assessment
nutrition biomechanics injury and rehabilitation youth football
environmental physiology psychology in football. Science and
Football VII is an essential resource for all sport scientists,
trainers, coaches, physical therapists, physicians, psychologists,
educational officers and professionals working across the football
codes. The papers contained within this volume were first presented
at the Seventh World Congress on Science and Football, held in May
2011 in Nagoya, Japan. The meeting was held under the auspices of
the International Steering Group on Science and Football, a
representative member of the World Commission of Science and
Sports.
