Introduction to sports biomechanics : analysing human movement patterns / by Roger Bartlett. - Third edition - xxv, 329 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm
Includes index.
Movement patterns the essence of sports biomechanics -- Qualitative analysis of sports movements -- Sports movement patterns and the geometry of motion -- Quantitative motion analysis in sports biomechanics -- What causes sports movements? Forces and moments of force -- The anatomy of human movement.
"Introduction to Sports Biomechanics: Analysing Human Movement Patterns is a genuinely accessible and comprehensive guide to all of the biomechanics topics covered in an undergraduate sports and exercise science degree. Now in a fully revised and updated third edition, the book explores both the qualitative and quantitative analysis of human movement, covering the following key topics: Movement patterns - the essence and purpose of sports biomechanics Qualitative analysis of sports movements Sports movement patterns and the geometry of motion Quantitative motion analysis in sports biomechanics What causes sports movements? Forces and moments of force The anatomy of human movement Every chapter contains cross references to key terms and definitions, learning objectives and summaries, study tasks to confirm and extend understanding, and suggestions for further reading."--Publisher's website.
