| Summary |
"Athletic Ability and the Anatomy of Motion serves as a bridge between biomechanics and the practice of sport. By providing a detailed analysis of movement, Rolf Wirhed allows us to understand the factors important for maximizing performance and privides a firm theoretical framework for effective training." "Key features: unique in its rigorous application of biomechanics to sport training; relates mechanics to the use of muscles in specific sports; coverage is both theoretical and practical, making the book useful both for academic study and as a training aid; and highly illustrated format aids comprehension of concepts and assimilation of details." "Athletic Ability and the Anatomy of Motion is essential reading for coaches and trainers at all levels of sport, sport teachers, physical education students and sports science students. It will also be of interest to physiotherapists, sports scientists, serious athletes and dancers."--BOOK JACKET |
