Routledge Handbook of Biomechanics

and Human Movement Science

The Routledge Handbook of Biomechanics and Human Movement Science is a landmark work of

reference. It offers a comprehensive and in-depth survey of current theory, research and

practice in sports, exercise and clinical biomechanics, in both established and emerging

contexts.

Including contributions from many of the world’s leading biomechanists, the book is

arranged into eight thematic sections:

■

Modelling and computational simulation

■

Neuromuscular system and motor control

■

Methodology and systems of measurement

■

Engineering, technology and equipment design

■

Biomechanics in sports

■

Injury, orthopaedics and rehabilitation

■

Health and motor performance

■

Training, learning and coaching

Drawing explicit connections between the theoretical, investigative and applied compo-

nents of sports science research, this book is both a definitive subject guide and an important

contribution to the contemporary research agenda in biomechanics and human movement

science. It is essential reading for all students, scholars and researchers working in sports bio-

mechanics, kinesiology, ergonomics, sports engineering, orthopaedics and physical therapy.
