For decades exercise training and rehabilitation have followed primarily a dogmatic approach that have very little basis in fundamental bio-mechanics, exercise physiology, nor research based protocols. The most common approaches to injury, injury prevention, and rehabilitation, as well as exercise programming, apply the same principles to different mechanical systems of the body.

This dogmatic approach does not address the specific needs of different mechanical systems involved in functional movement and fitness. Whereas, this book addresses the different aspects of bio-mechanics and explains how to train more specifically to the needs of the human system. Whether you’re an athlete, clinician, coach, or weekend warrior, Fulcrum-Lever-Sport: A Handbook of Biomechanics for Improved Performance and Injury Prevention will help you think about human function and injury prevention in a new light.

The principles that Dr. Michael Ross, DC, CSCS covers are not entirely new concepts—they are scientifically based, and rooted in research and well-established bio-mechanical principles. Fulcrum-Lever-Sport condenses these concepts into an easy-to-understand format, which will allow you to take immediate action to improve patient outcomes or athletic performances.

Dr. Ross simplifies complex aspects of human biomechanics and the relationship to injury prevention and performance enhancement so anyone, from a novice athletic individual to a seasoned coach or clinician can read, learn, and integrate these concepts into their training and/or coaching. No matter what your role or level is, Fulcrum-Lever-Sport is a valuable resource for improved performance and injury prevention.
