 BIOMECHANICAL EVALUATION OF MOVEMENT
IN SPORT AND EXERCISE

Now in a fully updated and revised new edition, this is still the only up-to-date,
practical guide to the use of technology in sport and exercise biomechanics. It
includes detailed explanations of the key theory underlying biomechanics test-
ing and measurement, along with advice on choosing equipment and using it
effectively.

The second edition includes two completely new chapters on qualitative move-
ment analysis and the assessment of movement coordination, and covers every
key functional area in the biomechanics curriculum, including:

• motion analysis using video and on-line systems

• measurement of force and pressure
• measurement of torque and power using isokinetic dynamometry
• electromyography
• computational simulation and modelling of human movement
• research methodologies
• data processing.

Published in association with the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sci-
ences (BASES), it includes contributions from world leading researchers and
pioneers in the field of sport and exercise biomechanics. Biomechanical Evalua-
tion of Movement in Sport and Exercise is a must-have text for all biomechanics
laboratories and for any student undertaking a research project or course in
methods, measurement or analysis in biomechanics.

Carl J. Payton obtained his PhD in biomechanics from Manchester Metropoli-

tan University, UK, in 1999 where he is now a Reader and leads the biomechan-
ics and long-term conditions research group. Carl’s main research interests are
in the biomechanical determinants of elite swimming performance and in the

classification of physically impaired swimmers for competition. He has provided

biomechanics support to the GB Para-Swimming team since 2000. Carl has pre-
viously been Biomechanics Section Chair and member of the BASES Executive
Committee.

Adrian Burden began his career at Brunel University before moving to Brighton
University and then to Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, in 2002. He
obtained his PhD in surface electromyography in the same year and is Associate
Head of the Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences. Adrian is also a Reader
in Biomechanics and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. His
main interests lie in the application of electromyography to exercise, clinical and
sport settings, and he has run workshops for BASES in this area.
