                illustrated and full of visual aids to support the text. Every chapter contains cross-

                references to key terms and definitions from that chapter, learning objectives and sum-

                maries, study tasks to confirm and extend your understanding, and suggestions to

                further your reading.

                Highly structured and with many student-friendly features, the text covers:



             � Movement Patterns � Exploring the Essence and Purpose of Movement Analysis

             � Qualitative Analysis of Sports Movements

             � Movement Patterns and the Geometry of Motion

             � Quantitative Measurement and Analysis of Movement

             � Forces and Torques � Causes of Movement

             � The Human Body and the Anatomy of Movement



                This edition of Introduction to Sports Biomechanics is supported by a website containing

                video clips, and offers sample data tables for comparison and analysis and multiple-

                choice questions to confirm your understanding of the material in each chapter.

                This text is a must have for students of sport and exercise, human movement sciences,

                ergonomics, biomechanics and sports performance and coaching.

Preface



                Why have I changed the cover name for this book from that of the first edition? Because

                after teaching, researching and consulting in sports biomechanics for over 30 years, my

                definition of sports biomechanics has become simply, `the study and analysis of human

                movement patterns in sport'. This is a marked change from the first edition, the

                introduction to which began with the sentence: `Sports biomechanics uses the scientific

                methods of mechanics to study the effects of various forces on the sports performer'.

                The change in focus � and structure and contents � of this book reflects an important

                change in sports biomechanics over the last decade. Most sports biomechanics text-

                books, including the first edition of this one, have strongly reflected the mathematical,

                engineering or physics backgrounds of their authors and their predominant research

                culture. Hence, the mechanical focus that is evident, particularly in earlier texts, as well

                as a strong emphasis on quantitative analysis in sports biomechanics. In this early part

                of the third millennium, more students who graduate with a degree focused on sports

                biomechanics will go on to work as a movement analyst or performance analyst with

                sports organisations and client groups in exercise and health than will enrol for a

                research degree. The requirements on them will be to undertake mostly qualitative,

                rather than quantitative, analysis of movement. Indeed, I will often use the term

                `movement analyst' instead of `sports biomechanist' to reflect this shift from quantita-

                tive to qualitative analysis, and to broaden the term somewhat, as will be apparent later.



                   So, qualitative analysis is the main focus of the first three chapters of this new

                edition; however everything in these chapters is also relevant for quantitative movement

                analysts � you cannot be a good quantitative movement analyst without first being a

                good qualitative analyst. The last three chapters focus on quantitative analysis. Even

                here, there are notable changes from the first edition. First, I have removed sections

                that dealt with sports objects rather than the sports performer. This reflects the

                growth of sports engineering as the discipline that deals with the design and function of

                sports equipment and sports objects. Secondly, rather than the structure of the first

                edition � four chapters on fundamentals and four on measurement techniques � the

                measurement sections are now incorporated within Chapters 4 to 6 (and touched on

                in Chapter 2) and are covered only in the detail needed for undergraduate students.

                More advanced students wishing to probe deeper into measurement techniques and

                data processing will find the new text edited by Carl Payton and myself a source of more



                                                                                                                 xvii

PREFACE



         detailed information (Biomechanical Evaluation of Movement in Sport and Exercise,

         Routledge, 2007).



            So what do sports biomechanists � or movement analysts � do? We study and analyse

         human movement patterns in sport to help people perform their chosen sporting

         activity better and to reduce the risk of injury. We also do it because it is so fascinating.

         Yes, it is fascinating, otherwise so many of my generation would not still be doing

         it. And it is intellectually challenging and personally gratifying � if you can contribute

         to reducing an athlete's injury risk or to improving his or her performance, it gives you a

         warm glow. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Indeed it is � a wealth of fascination. So, let us

         begin our journey.



            This edition is intended to be more reader-friendly than the first. Each chapter starts

         with an outline of learning outcomes, and knowledge assumed, which is cross-

         referenced mostly to other parts of the book. At the end of each chapter, a summary is

         provided of what was covered and eight study tasks are listed. Hints are given about how

         to go about each task, including referring to video clips, data tables and other material

         available on the book's website, which is, in itself, another important pedagogical

         resource. The website also includes PowerPoint slides for lecturers to use as a basis for

         their lectures, and multiple choice questions for students to self-test their learning

         progress. Further reading material is also recommended at the end of each chapter.



            The production of any textbook relies on the cooperation of many people other than

         the author. I should like to acknowledge the invaluable, carefully considered comments

Introduction  MISSING TEXT



The first three chapters of this book focus mainly on qualitative analysis of sports

movements. Chapter 1 starts by outlining a novel approach to sports biomechanics and

establishing that our focus in this chapter is the qualitative analysis of human move-

ment patterns in sport. I will define movements in the sagittal plane and touch on those

in the frontal and horizontal planes. We will then consider the constraints-led approach

to studying human movements, and go on to look at examples of walking, running,

jumping and throwing, including the subdivision of these fundamental movements

into phases. In these movements, we will compare movement patterns between

ages, sexes, footwear, inclines and tasks. The chapter concludes with a comparison of

qualitative and quantitative analysis, looking at their background, uses, and strengths

and weaknesses.



   Chapter 2 considers how qualitative biomechanical analysis of movement is part of a

multidisciplinary approach to movement analysis. We will look at several structured

approaches to qualitative analysis of movement, all of which have, at their core, the

identification of critical features of the movement studied. We will identify four stages

in a structured approach to movement analysis, consider the main aspects of each stage

and note that the value of each stage depends on how well the previous stages have been

implemented. We will see that the most crucial step in the whole approach is how to

identify the critical features of a movement, and we will look at several ways of

doing this, none of which is foolproof. We will work through a detailed example of the

best approach, using deterministic models, and consider the `movement principles'

approach and the role of phase analysis of movement.



   Chapter 3 covers the principles of kinematics � the geometry of movement � which

are important for the study of movement in sport and exercise. Our focus will be very

strongly on movement patterns and their qualitative interpretation. Several other forms

of movement pattern will be introduced, explained and explored � including stick

figures, time-series graphs, angle�angle diagrams and phase planes. We will consider the

types of motion and the model appropriate to each. The importance of being able to

interpret graphical patterns of linear or angular displacement and to infer from these the

geometry of the velocity and acceleration patterns will be stressed. We will look at two

ways of assessing joint coordination using angle�angle diagrams and, through phase

planes, relative phase, and we will briefly touch on the strengths and weaknesses of these



                                                                                                 xix
