Applied Anatomy and Biomechanics in Sport demonstrates how 'state of the art' advances in sport science can be used in coaching to achieve an optimal skill performance, either for the average performer or the elite athlete. The book examines coaching from a different perspective to the majority of the sport books in print and focuses on the individual rather than the group coaching approach of the past. The concept of modifying the body and/or the technique of the individual is used throughout the book. This is expressed in simple language which coaches and teachers at all levels will find easy to understand. Thirty national and international sports are dealt with and they are systematically examined in the following sports groups: racquet sports; aquatic sports; gymnastic and power sports; track, field and cycling; mobile field sports; set field sports; court sports; contact field sports and martial arts. Special features of this book include information from recent research on the development of training methods which will increase strength and explosive power, the utilization of elastic energy in the development of power and speed, and the modification of proportionality and posture to improve performance.
