Understanding the ‘human operator’ is a central concern of both
ergonomists and sport and exercise scientists. This cutting-edge
collection of international research papers explores the
interface between physical, cognitive and occupational ergonomics
and sport and exercise science, illuminating our understanding of
‘human factors’ at work and at play. Drawing on a wide diversity
of disciplines, including applied anatomy, biomechanics,
physiology, engineering, psychology and design, the book explores
themes of central importance within contemporary ergonomics and
sport and exercise science, such as performance, health,
environment, technology and special populations.
