Zatsiorsky Biomechanics book

[Guest guest]

Does any have/Has anyone read, " Biomechanics in Sport: Performance

Enhancement and Injury Prevention " edited by Zatsiorsky?

If so, I'd appreciate your comments and feedback. I was considering

purchasing it. The price, however, of $125 is fairly steep. Was wondering

how accessible it is to someone who is not a biomechanics " freak " or guru?

[The price is high, but the content is encyclopaedic and technically expansive.

I was one of the contributing

authors (my chapter was on the biomechanics of strength and power) and received

one copy for my

efforts (thank goodness!), so I have had the chance to read through this book.

My fellow authors are

among the most erudite biomechanists in the world and offer some unique insights

into sport biomechanics.

It is not a book for casual reading and it does not aim to offer any training

programs, but if you need an

authoritative reference work, then you will not regret owning it. Mel Siff]
