Henry Abbott: Ballistic, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Injuries are the worst. But what if we could predict and prevent them? In Ballistic, longtime NBA data journalist and amateur athlete Henry Abbott tells the story of sports scientist Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project (P3), who use technology to study how athletes get hurt. P3 has helped elite professionals compete with impressive longevity by training with "ballistic" movements-leaping and landing.

Their data-driven insights indicate that the explosive moves and ground impacts we avoid in everyday workouts might provide the secret to an injury-free athletic life. Ballistic explores cutting-edge research and presents an evidence-based case for intervening early to avoid injuries and stem the growing mobility crisis. Abbott's inspiring narrative can help readers harness the science of ballistic movement to continue their athletic adventures.
