Strength and Power in Sport

Strength and Power in Sport is the second edition of the third volume in the state-of-the-art Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine series, published under the auspices of the Medical Commission of the International Olympic Committee. The team of 39 contributing authors consists of prominent scientists and clinicians, all of whom have established themselves as world leaders in their particular area. The study of strength and power is one of the major components of sports science and an understanding of the relationships among neural, hormonal, muscular and mechanical factors is central to sports performance as well as to the strength and power needs of other human populations. The book is accessible to all readers, providing all the necessary detail while retaining a readable style. It should appeal to all those with a background in the biological aspects of sports science and should be of particular interest to those involved in graduate programmes in the medicine and science of sport.Komi, Paavo V. is the author of 'Strength and Power in Sport', published 2002 under ISBN 9780632059119 and ISBN 0632059117.
