Description
The study of strength and power is one of the major components of sports science, since the relationship between nerve, muscle and supporting skeleton is central to athletic performance. This broadly-based book examines all the basic and applied aspects of strength and power in sport from the neurophysiology of the basic motor unit to training for specific activities. Authorship is international and includes leading physiologists, biomechanists and clinicians. The information presented will be of interest to a wide range of disciplines including sports scientists, sports medicine doctors, medical doctors in family practice, physical therapists, athletic trainers and coaches, and graduate students in the sports sciences and health-related professions.
