Sports science is a relatively young discipline that has been constantly evolving to help athletes perform better. It is the application of scientific principles to explain sporting phenomena and provide a basis for improving the performance of teams and individuals. In this comprehensive yet easy-to-use introduction, we will explore everything you need to know about sports science, including the key research and current knowledge.
The focus of the book is on the three disciplines of biomechanics, physiology, and psychology. Biomechanics involves using mechanical principles to understand human movement and how the human body interacts with equipment and apparatus. Physiology involves using biological sciences to investigate how the body responds to exercise and training. Psychology involves using psychological principles to provide answers to questions about human behavior in sports settings.
This new edition of the book has been updated to include case studies to show what you can do with a sports science degree and advice on how to prepare for careers where sports science knowledge is used. It also includes chapters on the key systems in the body, such as the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, as well as covering sports nutrition and planning research in sport.
Whether you are a student interested in sport and sport performance as a professional practice, or involved in sport at any level, Sports Science: A Complete Introduction is your go-to guide. It provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, making it an essential resource for anyone who wants to improve their understanding of sports science and its applications.
