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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,$x2191-530X 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aBiomechanics 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700X 606 $aBiomechanics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L29020 606 $aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B24000 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aBiomechanics. 615 14$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aBiomechanics. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology. 676 $a610.28 700 $aAfonso$b José$0891080 702 $aBessa$b Cristiana 702 $aPinto$b Filipe 702 $aRibeiro$b Diogo 702 $aMoura$b Beatriz 702 $aRocha$b Tiago 702 $aVinícius$b Marcus 702 $aCanário-Lemos$b Rui 702 $aPeixoto$b Rafael 702 $aClemente$b Filipe Manuel 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373898003321 996 $aAsymmetry as a Foundational and Functional Requirement in Human Movement$92120386 997 $aUNINA
