International Research In Sports Biomechanics

This book is a compilation of papers from the 18th International Symposium of Biomechanics in Sport. It covers a variety of topics in sports biomechanics, including modeling, simulation, injury, rehabilitation, and training. The book is divided into nine sections, each with its own focus.

This edited collection of papers presented at the 18th International Symposium of Biomechanics in Sport, highlights cutting-edge research material on sports biomechanics from many of the leading international academics in the field. The thirty-seven chapters presented are divided into nine sections: * biomechanics of fundamental human movement * modelling, simulation and optimisation * biomechanics of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system * sports injuries, orthopaedics and rehabilitation * the application of electromyography in movement studies * biomechanical analysis of the internal load * methods and instrumentation * training * paediatric and geriatric exercise.
