"Sports Biomechanics: Reducing Injury and Improving Performance is the companion volume to Introduction to Sports Biomechanics, also written by Roger Bartlett. This advanced text focuses on third year undergraduate and postgraduate topics and considers the two key issues of sports biomechanics: why injuries occur, and how they can be reduced, and how performance can be improved." "This textbook will prove invaluable for students studying biomechanics in years two and three of a sport science degree, and also for postgraduate students."
