Description
Strength and Power in Sport is a new addition to the Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine series. The study of strength and power is one of the major components of sports science as the relationship between nerve, muscle and supporting skeleton is central to athletic performance. This broadly-based book examines all basic and applied aspects of strength and power in sport from the neurophysiology of the basic motor unit to training for specific activities. Contributions to this volume come from an international team comprised of leading physiologists, biomechanists, and clinicians. The broad but detailed content of Strength and Power in Sport is directed to a wide range of disciplines including sports medicine doctors, general practitioners, physical therapists, athletic trainers and coaches, and the health related professions.
