Biomechanics of Sports and Sports Injuries

This overview paper summarizes recent work on the biomechanics of sports activities, prevention and repair of sporting injuries with reports on the papers presented at the Eighteenth Annual Day Conference, held in Leeds on 8 January 1993, by the Bioengineering Group for the Study of Human Joints in association with the Biological Engineering Society.
