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.
