Human beings have always sought ways to gain a competitive edge over their opponents, but sports science is a relatively young discipline. So what is it all about, and how can it help athletes perform better?
Sports science is the application of scientific principles to explain sporting phenomena and provide a basis for improving the performance of teams and individuals. In this comprehensive yet easy-to-use introduction, you will learn everything you need to know about it in one place including the key research and current knowledge, providing you with a well-informed starting point in your study of this fascinating subject.

The focus of the book is on the three disciplines of biomechanics, physiology and psychology:

-Biomechanics: using mechanical principles to understand human movement and how the human body interacts with equipment and apparatus

-Physiology: using biological sciences to investigate how the body responds to exercise and training

-Psychology: using psychological principles to provide answers to questions about human behaviour in sports settings

It includes chapters on the key systems in the body - skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and nervous - as well as covering sports nutrition and planning research in sport.

Whether you are a student preparing for study on a university course in sport or sports science, involved in sport at any level and want to understand more about your performance, or simply interested in sport and sport performance, Sports Science: A Complete Introduction is your go-to guide.

Sharp and goes well with fancy, or jeans. Looks great for the price.
Size: Large, Color: Black
As tweed Herringbone vests go, this is rather nice and fits well. I'm 5'10", medium build and the Large fit nicely. I ordered it to go with my Oktoberfest Lederhosen outfit (worn to Oktoberfest in Munich), and it worked well. It'll also work with jeans. It's not some high quality piece, but for the price, appears more expensive than what it costs.

Nicely made
Size: XX-Large, Color: Burgundy
Good vest, nice material, good stitching, not too warm. I like it for over a button down shirt.

Nice Qualtiy for the Money
Size: Large, Color: Light Blue
I originally ordered this vest in XL based on other reviewers' suggestions to up size, but I returned it for a large. Vests should fit snugly and not be loose. I'm 5"9" and 175lbs and the large was a good fit for me. The material is not as heavy as I expected based on the photos but it is not flimsy. It is well constructed with a nice liner. For the money it is a really nice item. I have nicer vests but then they cost several times what this one did. Overall, I am very happy with it.

Not terrible for the price. Not super high quality.
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black
Not bad for the price. Fits a size smaller. I can wear it standing up, but need to unbutton it to sit down. I have very little faith in the buttons. The sewing looks rushed. I may cut them off and replace them. Brown buttons with a black vest? Odd choice. Not sure what the half moon pocket is for next to the button holes.
