Description: Laboratory and Field Exercises in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics is the first book to fully integrate practical work into an introduction to the fundamental principles of sport and exercise biomechanics. The book concisely and accessibly introduces the discipline of biomechanics and describes the fundamental methods of analysing and interpreting biomechanical data before fully explaining the major concepts underlying linear kinematics linear kinetics angular kinematics angular kinetics and work energy and power. To supplement chapters the book includes nineteen practical worksheets which are designed to give students practice in collecting analysing and interpreting biomechanical data as well as report writing. Each worksheet includes example data and analysis along with data recording sheets for use by students to help bring the subject to life. No other book offers students a comparable opportunity to gain practical hands - on experience of the core tenets of biomechanics. Laboratory and Field Exercises in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics is therefore an important companion for any student on a Sport and Exercise Science or Kinesiology undergraduate programme or for any instructors delivering introductory biomechanics classes.
