Includes bibliographical references and index.
I. Sport mechanics fundamentals. Making a smart move : Sport mechanics ; How sport mechanics for coaches can help you ; How sport mechanics for coaches is organized -- Starting with basics : Basic mechanical principles ; The gravity of the situation ; May the force be with you -- Mechanical principles in sport. Getting a move on : How an athlete moves (forces, momentum, and impulse) ; What happens when we move (work, power, energy, rebound, and friction) ; How to measure "getting a move on" in a running gait -- Rocking and rolling : How an athlete rotates (angular motion) ; Mechanical principles for rotation (lever systems) ; How an athlete initiates rotation ; What happens when we rotate (velocity, force, inertia, and momentum) ; How to measure angular velocity during cycling -- Don't be a pushover : How an athlete can avoid being a pushover (stability) ; Mechanical principles for stability ; How to measure center of gravity and line of gravity -- Going with a flow : How an athlete goes with the flow ; Mechanical principles for moving through a fluid ; Factors that influence moving through air and water -- Putting your knowledge of sport mechanics to work. Analyzing sport skills : Determine the objectives of the skill ; Note any special characteristics of the skill ; Study top-flight performances of the skill ; Divide the skill into phases ; Divide each phase into key objectives ; Understand the mechanical reasons for each key element is performed as it is -- Identifying and correcting errors in sports skills : Observe the complete skill ; Analyze each phase and its key elements ; Use your knowledge of sport mechanics in your analysis ; Select errors to be corrected ; Decide on appropriate methods for the correction of errors -- Mechanics of selected sport skills.
