Description

Sports Science: A Complete Introduction by Simon Rea is a comprehensive guide to the application of scientific principles in sports. This book provides a well-informed starting point for anyone looking to understand the key research and current knowledge in the field. The focus is on three disciplines: biomechanics, physiology, and psychology, which are essential for improving performance in teams and individuals. You'll learn about biomechanics, using mechanical principles to understand human movement and how the body interacts with equipment and apparatus, as well as physiology, which investigates how the body responds to exercise and training. Psychology is also covered, providing answers to questions about human behaviour in sports settings. The book includes chapters on the key systems in the body, such as the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, as well as sports nutrition and planning research in sport. Whether you're a student, professional, or involved in sport at any level, this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to gain a competitive edge through a deeper understanding of sports science.
