Applied Biomechanics, Second Edition applies concepts from anatomy, physics, calculus, and neurophysiology to present a scientific foundation of the study of biomechanics. The text utilizes extensive use of illustrations and a multitude of example problems to reinforce the biomechanical content.
Explains how basic scientific principles such as friction, inertia, actions and reactions, and acceleration are involved in basketball, football, diving, skating and other sports.
Twenty-one papers from the symposium held in Riksgrasen, Sweden, May 1989, present the latest in skiing injury prevention, addressing: the knee, skiing injury statistics, the ski boot, the ski, and education and behavior.
