This is a work that serves as a connecting bridge between biomechanics and sports practice. Through detailed analysis of movement, it is possible to understand the important factors for maximizing performance and to provide a solid theoretical foundation for effective training.

This book discusses the general characteristics of bones, joints, and muscles, as well as general guidelines for strength and flexibility training, along with the anatomy and function of various parts of the body. It examines the types of movement that are important for different sports, analyzes the terminology of movements, and presents the relevant neurology and the management of muscular and ligament injuries.

Finally, there is an additional chapter on the biomechanics of sports. This new edition includes additional material on strength training and many new images. The book The Athletic Ability and Anatomy of Movement is an essential read for coaches of all levels, educators, and students of physical education and sports science. It is also of interest to physiotherapists, dancers, and competitive athletes.
