Sports Biomechanics is a quantitative based study and analysis of professional athletes and sports activities in general. It can simply be described as the physics of sports. In this subfield of Biomechanics the laws of mechanics are applied order to gain a grater understanding of athletic performance through mathematical modeling, computer simulation and measurement.

The present book entitled Sports Biomechanics discusses all the aspects of biomechanics in the field of sports and games.
