| Summary |
"The application of sport science to coaching has become the most important factor behind the rapid advances in elite sport performances of the past 20 years. Applied Anatomy and Biomechanics in Sport, Second Edition, builds on this idea by helping coaches and sport scientists transfer the latest in sport science principles to their coaching practices by integrating the elements of body structure, body composition, assessment, physiology and biomechanics to assess capabilities and enhance the performance of individual athletes."--Back cover |
