Ecological psychology and task representativeness: implications for the design of perceptual-motor training programmes in sport

Abstract

The Routledge Handbook of Biomechanics and Human Movement Science is a landmark work of reference. It offers a comprehensive and in-depth survey of current theory, research and practice in sports, exercise and clinical biomechanics, in both established and emerging contexts. Including contributions from many of the world's leading biomechanists, the book is arranged into eight thematic sections: Modelling and computational simulation Neuromuscular system and motor control Methodology and systems of measurement Engineering, technology and equipment design Biomechanics in sports Injury, orthopaedics and rehabilitation Health and motor performance Training, learning and coaching Drawing explicit connections between the theoretical, investigative and applied components of sports science research, this book is both a definitive subject guide and an important contribution to the contemporary research agenda in biomechanics and human movement science. It is essential reading for all students, scholars and researchers working in sports biomechanics, kinesiology, ergonomics, sports engineering, orthopaedics and physical therapy.
