Specifically, it adopts an evidence-based approach to demonstrate (i) the role of structural (e.g., bone dimensions) and functional (e.g., hemispheric dominance) asymmetries in the human body; (ii) the asymmetric nature of most daily activities (e.g., gait, mastication); (iii) the benefits of asymmetry for physical performance; and (iv) the role of asymmetry in preventing injury. More than just a scientific book, it bridges the gap between theory and practice, and includes practical examples and applications. The book appeals to academics and practitioners in the fields of kinesiology, human movement, sports sciences, strength and conditioning, and physiotherapy.SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,2191-5318Biomedical engineeringBiomechanicsBiotechnologyBiomedical Engineering and BioengineeringBiomechanicsBiotechnologyBiomedical engineering.Biomechanics.Biotechnology.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.Biomechanics.Biotechnology.610.28Afonso José891080Bessa CristianaPinto FilipeRibeiro DiogoMoura BeatrizRocha TiagoVinícius MarcusCanário-Lemos RuiPeixoto RafaelClemente Filipe ManuelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910373898003321Asymmetry as a Foundational and Functional Requirement in Human Movement2120386UNINA
