Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports engineering has become increasingly popular over the last decade and represents the link between sports science (biomechanics, physiology) and the application of technology. This book brings together work from researchers around the world and, in particular, Japan which has had a long association with sports engineering. Most sports are covered, including football, golf, skiing and even the Frisbee. For convenience, topics are split into ten categories covering disciplines, including materials, biomechanics and robotics. The contents of this book will be of interest to engineers and scientists from all walks of life, as well as those in sports engineering and sports science.
