Now in a fully updated and revised edition, \u003cem\u003eSports Biomechanics\u003c\/em\u003e introduces the fundamental principles that underpin our understanding of the biomechanics of both sports injury and performance, and explains how contemporary biomechanical science can be used to meet both of those goals simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first four chapters of this book look closely at sports injury, including topics such as the properties of biological materials, mechanisms of injury occurrence, risk reduction, and the estimation of forces in biological structures. The last four chapters concentrate on the biomechanical enhancement of sports performance including analytical techniques, statistical and mathematical modelling of sports movements, and the use of feedback to enhance sports performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on the very latest empirical and epidemiological data, and including clear concise summaries, self test questions and guides to further reading in every chapter, this book is essential reading for all advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students with an interest in biomechanics, sports injury, sports medicine, physical therapy or performance analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisit the companion website at www.routledge.com\/cw\/bartlett\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Bartlett,Melanie Bussey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415558387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415558389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.70w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2012","brand":"Roger Bartlett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579585708287,"sku":"9780415558389","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c14955b9-3f5b-4aca-a3de-61c940f0152c.jpg?v=1763875219","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sports-biomechanics-roger-bartlett-9780415558389","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
