Biomechanical evaluation of movement in sport and exercise: the british association of sport and exercise sciences guidelines

This book, published in association with BASES (the British Association 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 howto 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 biomechanicslaboratories and students undertaking research. INDICE: Introduction. Motion analysis using video. Motion analysis using on-line systems. Force and pressure measurement. Surface electromyography. Isokinetic dynamometry. Data processing and error estimation. Research methods: sample size and variability effects on statistical power. Computer simulation modelling in sport.
