Download or read book Polymers in Sport and Leisure written by R. P. Brown and published by Smart Publications. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, the author reviews the huge range of sports-related products from playing surfaces to footwear and clothing. He notes how changing performance, usually for the better, and the need to supplement the rules of the game to ensure consistency when a variety of materials and designs may be in use has led to an increase in testing and specification. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.
Download or read book The Science and Engineering of Sport Surfaces written by Sharon Dixon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports surface design is crucial for the successful performance of sports skills and the reduction of injury risk. Surfaces have developed from natural materials such as turf, clay and cinder, to synthetic surfaces such as acrylic tennis courts, artificial turf for soccer and synthetic running tracks, while our understanding of natural turf has developed in terms of properties appropriate for different sports and surface sustainability. This book draws together the very latest research on biomechanical, medical and engineering approaches to the study of sports surfaces. Written by a team of leading international sport scientists, engineers and technologists, the book covers every key aspect of surface development and design, including: surface behaviour surface classification, function, construction and maintenance influence of surfaces on player performance and injury surface test methods and monitoring development of natural turf and synthetic surfaces shoe-turf interaction future developments in sports surface technology. Representing the most comprehensive and up-to-date study of sports surfaces, this book is important reading for all researchers and professionals working in sports technology, sports engineering, biomechanics or sports medicine.

Download or read book Sports Biomechanics written by Melanie Bussey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This advanced text is the companion volume to Introduction to Sports Biomechanics, also written by Roger Bartlett. Focussing on third year undergraduate and postgraduate topics the text explores sports injury in relation to biomechanics. Part One presents a detailed examination of sports injury, including the properties of biological materials, mechanisms of injury occurrence, risk reduction, and the estimation of forces in biological structures. Part Two concentrates on the biomechanical enhancement of sports performance and covers in detail the analysis of sports technique, statistical and mathematical modelling of sports movements, and the feedback of results to improve performance. Each chapter feature an introduction, summary, references, example exercises and suggestions for further reading, making this an invaluable textbook for students who wish to specialize in sports biomechanics or sports injury and rehabilitation.
