Archery Anatomy (eBook, ePUB)

An Introduction to Techniques for Improved Performance

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Archery Anatomy looks at archery techniques from the point of view of the interrelationship between the anatomy of the human body and the anatomy of the bow. Written by an archery expert, it highlights the primary power sources involved in the performance of the sport and enables coaches and archers alike to understand and perfect their skills in ways that use the natural movements of archer and bow in co-ordination.

The book is not tied to any specific national or international rules; it can be used by archers throughout the world to gain an understanding of the bio-mechanics of the sport. Originating from the author's awareness that the basic problems of most archers stemmed from their ignorance of these aspects, it should make an invaluable contribution to the overall improvement of performance standards.

Archery Anatomy combines clear, accurate drawings and diagrams with explanatory text to provide an essential primer on the subject.

This is a book which everyone involved with the coaching or instruction of archery should possess, including those at the receiving end... The subject-matter and its presentation are such that they will still be valid for half a century hence, and probably for much longer. British Archer
