This is the first book to comprehensively examine those processes and to explain the factors governing the trajectories of sporting projectiles once they are set in motion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a serve in tennis to the flight of a ’human projectile’ over a high jump bar, this book explains the universal physical and mathematical principles governing movement in sport, and then shows how those principles are applied in specific sporting contexts. Divided into two sections, addressing theory and application respectively, the book explores key concepts such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003efriction, spin, drag, impact and bounce\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecomputer and mathematical modelling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003evariable sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe design of sports equipment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ematerials science.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichly illustrated throughout, and containing a wealth of research data as well as worked equations and examples, this book is essential reading for all serious students of sports biomechanics, sports engineering, sports technology, sports equipment design and sports performance analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45590403350766,"sku":"9780415833141","price":74.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415833141_4fe53038-801f-4a5b-80d7-3b7d4918bcb4.jpg?v=1721234059","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/projectile-dynamics-in-sport","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
