This book explains the anatomy function of different parts of the body and examines the types of movement important in sports activities. This book gives a detailed analysis of movement, general characteristics of bones, joints, and muscles, as well as guidelines for flexibility and strength training.It emphasizes important factors for maximizing performance and is a bridge between biomechanics and the practice of sport. - The book's unique approach features a rigorous application of biomechanics to sport training.
- Mechanics are related to the use of muscles in specific sports.
- Coverage is both theoretical and practical, making the book useful both for academic study and as a training aid.
- Highly illustrated format helps readers understand key concepts and important details.
- Fully updated content provides the latest knowledge on the subject.
- New illustrations and new, engaging text layout draw the reader in and bring important concepts to life.
- Additional coverage has been added on several topics, including strength training.
