Summary
Summary
This new title in the Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine Series fromthe Medical Commission of the International Olympic Committeepresents in one volume the latest information on neuromuscularfunction in sport and exercise.
Chapters combine basic mechanistic knowledge with trueapplications; Topics covered include neuromuscular fatigue,neuromuscular training, and musculoskeletal loading, and specialchapters examine recently developed research methodologies usedduring natural locomotion: high speed ultrasonography (US) andtransmagnetic electrical stimulation (TMES).
An important addition to the reference collections ofbiomechanists, sports medicine specialists, sport scientists, andgraduate students in these areas, this volume is also appropriatefor advanced level coaches and sport physiotherapists.
