Book excerpt: Principles and Practice of Isokinetics in Sports Medicineprovides a comprehensive, critical review of isokinetic technology applied to sports training program testing and rehabilitation following injury and surgery. Featuring the work of renowned international contributors, the reference presents a step-by-step guide on practical isokinetic procedures and examines the significance and validity of variables commonly measured. The scientific value of isokinetics is highlighted both for sports medicine and sport sciences, enabling sports medicine practitioners to identify the merits of isokinetics and its relevant applications. The use of isokinetics in injury diagnosis and rehabilitation is outlined with specific illustrations from research data collected at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Special attention is given to assessment of the most commonly injured sites: the knee, ankle, shoulder, and trunk. The reference offers guidelines for the interpretation of test results along with examples of how to apply the guidelines in designing appropriate rehabilitation programs. A special section is devoted to the use of isokinetics in the assessment of sport performance. Extensive photographs, charts, and illustrations throughout the reference highlight key points.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the clearest and most straightforward biomechanics textbook currently available. By breaking down the challenging subject of sport and exercise biomechanics into short thematic sections, it enables students to grasp each topic quickly and easily, and provides lecturers with a flexible resource that they can use to support any introductory course on biomechanics. The book contains a wealth of useful features for teaching and learning, including clear definitions of key terms, lots of applied examples, guides to further reading, and revision questions with worked solutions. It has been significantly expanded to encompass rapidly developing areas, such as sports equipment design and modern optoelectronic motion analysis systems, and it includes a number of new sections that further develop the application of biomechanics in sports performance and injury prevention. A new companion website includes a test bank, downloadable illustrations and, where appropriate, suggestions for learning outcomes and/or lab-based sessions for lecturers. Instant Notes in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics has been an invaluable course companion for thousands of students and lecturers over the last decade. Engaging, direct, and now fully refreshed, it is the only biomechanics textbook you’ll ever need.

Book excerpt: Practical and easy-to-use, this text covers the theoretical background of clinical isokinetics and its practical applications in the field of muscle performance and rehabilitation. It examines the methodology and its use in relation to muscle conditioning and rehabilitation. The content also offers detailed coverage of isokinetic dynamometry (measuring muscle strength and function) in relation to the muscle systems of the major joints. Practically written content clearly describes the basic physiological and biomechanical aspects of isokinetics. Detailed discussion addresses measurement of muscle strength of all the major joints. Coverage of medicolegal implications of isokinetic findings aid the reader in coming to a clearer understanding. Material is strongly evidence-based and fully referenced, making the information more credible and applicable. Chapter on the isokinetics of elbow and hand muscles provides information on developments in this important area. Content on medicolegal application of isokinetics gives practical explanations of this difficult topic. Material on special applications of isokinetics, like manifestations of muscle weakness in relation to specific diseases, aids the reader in understanding more unique clinical applications.
