So what is it all about, and how can it help athletes perform better?Sports science is the application of scientific principles to explain sporting phenomena and provide a basis for improving the performance of teams and individuals.

The focus of the book is on the three disciplines of biomechanics, physiology and psychology:- Biomechanics: using mechanical principles to understand human movement and how the human body interacts with equipment and apparatus- Physiology: using biological sciences to investigate how the body responds to exercise and training- Psychology: using psychological principles to provide answers to questions about human behaviour in sports settingsThis new edition 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 includes chapters on the key systems in the body - skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and nervous - as well as covering sports nutrition and planning research in sport.
