Synopsis

Sports engineering is an interdisciplinary subject, which encompasses and integrates not only sports science and engineering (including biomechanics, physics and other subsections of general science), but also much broader issues that are of paramount importance to developing and implementing new sports technology.

This book provides an overview of the state–of–the–art in sports technology and the latest contemporary developments from the perspective of both industrial practice and academic research. It brings together the work of researchers from Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and Africa under the following four headings:
Sports Engineering, Design and Sports Technology, Enabling Knowledge and Advanced Analysis Techniques.
