This advanced text focuses on third year undergraduate and postgraduate topics and considers the two key issues of sports biomechanics: why injuries occur, and how they can be reduced, and how performance can be improved." "This textbook will prove invaluable for students studying biomechanics in years two and three of a sport science degree, and also for postgraduate students."
