This is the definitive guide for designing plyometric programmes. Plyometrics, also known as jump training, are a group of exercises based on the principle of having muscles exert maximum force in as short a time as possible, with the intention of increasing both strength and po…

This work looks at the functional anatomy of the lower back. It develops a system for evaluating the origin of mechanical low back pain, and recommends steps for developing safe and active rehabilitation programmes. This edition features expanded coverage of treament strategies.
The volume applies to the study of the motor system the computational approach developed by David Marr for the visual system. Accordingly, understanding movement is viewed as an information processing problem, centred on the representation of appropriate computational structures…

A classic text for those studying anatomy with over 25,000 copies sold, this book has established itself as a core textbook for students. All illustrations have been redrawn to meet the needs of students today along with a new design and layout to make studying anatomy easier. T…
"Widely used and referenced, David Winter's Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement is a classic examination of techniques used to measure and analyze all body movements as mechanical systems, including such everyday movements as walking. It fills the gap in the human m…
"Across the full range of human movement studies and their many sub-disciplines, established institutional practices and forms of pedagogy are used to (re)produce valued knowledge about human movement. Pedagogy and Human Movement explores this pedagogy in detail to reveal its ap…
"Using a blend of experimental evidence and mechanical models, Biomechanics of Skeletal Muscles provides an explanation of whole muscle biomechanics at work in the body in motion. The book first addresses the mechanical behavior of single muscles--from the sarcomere level up to …
A textbook for an undergraduate course in physical education, exercise and sport science, and related fields. Assumes no previous knowledge of physiology, psychology, statistical methods, or other basic sciences. Schmidt (psychology, U. of California-Los Angeles) and Wrisberg (m…
The Routledge Handbook of Motor Control and Motor Learning is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of neurophysiological, behavioural and biomechanical aspects of motor function. Adopting an integrative approach, it examines the full range of key topics in contemporary…
