Sports engineering is an interdisciplinary subject, which encompasses and integrates not only sports science and engineering (including biomechanics, physics and other subsections of general science), but also much broader issues that are of paramount importance to developing and implementing new sports technology. This book provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in sports technology and the latest contemporary developments from the perspective of both industrial practice and academic research. It brings together the work of researchers from Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and Africa under the following four headings: Sports Engineering, Design and Sports Technology, Enabling Knowledge and Advanced Analysis Techniques.

Science and technology have contributed immensely to the establishment of tennis as one of the world's major sports. The science involved is interdisciplinary, encompassing design, engineering, physics, sports science, biomechanics and many other areas. 
This book brings together a selection of international papers collated by the International Tennis Federation Technical Department. The papers come from a variety of sources including manufacturers, universities, national ruling bodies and the International Tennis Federation. Four main themes - equipment, sports science, facilities and the game itself - are covered, representing work carried out in over 20 countries. The themes dealt with are diverse and comprehensive, ranging from the construction of a championship grass court to the technical intricacies of the aerodynamics of tennis balls. The role of the player is also considered making this an important book for all those involved in the game of tennis, from researchers to coaches and players.

Technology

Sports engineering has become increasingly popular over the last decade and represents the link between sports science (biomechanics, physiology) and the application of technology. 
This book brings together work from researchers around the world and, in particular, Japan which has had a long association with sports engineering. Most sports are covered, including football, golf, skiing and even the Frisbee. For convenience, topics are split into ten categories covering disciplines, including materials, biomechanics and robotics. The contents of this book will be of interest to engineers and scientists from all walks of life, as well as those in sports engineering and sports science.
