| Summary |
"This book is essential reading for biomedical engineers, physicists, sport scientists, and physiologists who wish to update their knowledge of biomechanical and biomedical principles and their applications to sports. The book can be used in a one-semester Senior or Graduate-level course in Biomechanics, Biomedical Engineering Sports Technology, Sports Medicine, or Exercise Physiology. In addition, it will be of value to the layperson who enjoys watching or participating in sports such as golf, tennis, softball, football, soccer, and basketball."--BOOK JACKET |
