Science of Basketball

This is the only book to examine the scientific principles underpinning preparation and performance in basketball, applied to both individual and team contexts. Drawing on the very latest scientific evidence the book explores every aspect of preparation and performance.

Incorporating case-studies at the end of each chapter to demonstrate how scientific principles can be applied, the book bridges the gap between theory and applied practice in basketball better than any other. It is essential reading for any student, researcher, sport scientist, coach, physiotherapist or clinician with an interest in the game, and supplementary reading for students of sport science and sports coaching.
