Introductory Sports Engineering and Technology provides a fundamental primer to the world of sports engineering and technology, including the key themes that dominate design and practice. The text has been created to provide a comprehensive overview of key principles and is developed from established and recognised education providers.This new text includes case studies and worked examples to facilitate deeper learning and prepare readers for a high performance future in Sports Engineering and Technology. Sports performance is a complex and increasingly technology-enhanced environment, incorporating a broad range of disciplines and topics. The sports engineer or technologist operates a key role within this environment, applying fundamental techniques derived from maths and physics to solve problems, analyse opportunities, and optimise equipment and practice to maximise performance outcomes and reduce injury risk.This book is the first to offer a concise overview of the fundamental concepts required for budding sports engineers and technologists and is key reading for undergraduate and masters students of sports engineering and technology degree courses as well as undergraduate engineering, technology and product design students.
