Biomechanical Evaluation of Movement in Sport and Exercise is designed to help its readers stay on the cutting edge of sport and exercise biomechanics.   

What does this book cover?

This new edition of Biomechanical Evaluation of Movement in Sport and Exercise: The British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences Guide is heavily updated to reflect the latest advances in biomechanical measurement and testing technologies.

As a volume of the BASES Sport and Exercise Science series, Biomechanical Evaluation of Movement in Sport and Exercise will give its readers a much deeper and more nuanced understanding of biomechanics, especially in terms of:

• Data processing and video motion analysis
• Measuring force, torque, pressure and power
• Isokinetic dynamometry and electromyography
• Modelling and simulating human movement
• Research methodologies for developing biomechanics technology
