Neuromuscular Aspects of Sport Performance. The Encyclopedia of Sports Medicine
An IOC Medical Commission Publication
Komi Paavo V (2011)

This new volume in the Encyclopedia of Sports Medicine series published under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee provides a comprehensive overview of neuromuscular function in sport and exercise, combining the basics of mechanical knowledge with guidance on the application of science to enhance or predict performance.
Approaching the neuromuscular system both as a control “organ” and as a system that can itself operate and function very efficiently in demanding sport activities, this book describes essential topics such as neuromuscular fatigue, neuromuscular training, and musculoskeletal loading, as well as explains in detail the specific research tools, invasive approaches and in-vivo techniques that are used to understand the true nature of tensile and ligament forces during intensive exercise. Additionally, special chapters cover two recently developed research methodologies – high speed ultrasonography (US) and transmagnetic electrical stimulation (TMES) – that can be applied during natural locomotion.
With contributions from internationally renowned experts, this is an invaluable reference book for biomechanists, sport scientists and sports medicine specialists, as well as for advanced level coaches and sport physiotherapists.
