From the Publisher:
This book, published in association with BASES (the British Assocation of Sport and Exercise Sciences), is the only up-to-date, practical guide to using the range of biomechanics movement analysis machines, equipment and software available today.
It includes detailed explanations of the key theory underlying biomechanics testing, along with advice concerning choice of equipment and how to use your laboratory equipment most effectively.
Written by leaders of the field, Bartlett and Payton, detailed study is given to:
* motion analysis using video and on-line systems
* measurement of force and pressure in the laboratory and field
* measurement of power using isokinetic dynamometry
* electromyography
* computational simulation and modelling of human movement
* research methodologies, data processing and data smoothing.
Contributors include world leading researchers and pioneers such as Vasilios (Bill) Baltzopoulos, Adrian Burden, John H. Challis, and computer modelling maestro Fred Yeadon.
Biomechanical Evaluation of Movement in Sport and Exercise is a must-have text for all biomechanics laboratories and students undertaking research.
