Ergonomics is concerned with the 'fit' between people and their work. With an increasing number of people becoming conscious about their health and participating in sport or physical activity, ergonomics has become an increasingly prominent concern within the sport and exercise sciences. From the design of footwear and artificial playing surfaces, to studies of proprioception by obese children, the way in which people interact with their environment - designed and natural - has important implications for performance sport and for the design of safe and beneficial forms of physical activity
This handbook investigates the critical intersection of ergonomics and human performance within the domains of sport and exercise science. Edited by Youlian Hong, this volume compiles research from various experts to examine how the interaction between individuals and their physical environments influences athletic output, injury prevention, and the design of sports equipment. The text provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how ergonomic principles can be applied to optimize safety and efficiency in both professional sports and recreational physical activity.
