    Summary: This book provides an overview of biomedical applications in sports, including reviews of the current state-of-the art methodologies and research areas. Basic principles with specific case studies from different types of sports as well as suggested student activities and homework problems are included. Equipment design and manufacturing, quantitative evaluation methods, and sports medicine are given special focus. Biomechanical Principles and Applications in Sports can be used as a textbook in a sports technology or sports engineering program, and is also ideal for graduate students and researchers in biomedical engineering, physics, and sports physiology. It can also serve as a useful reference for professional athletes and coaches interested in gaining a deeper understanding of biomechanics and exercise physiology to improve athletic performance.

    In a double-blind study the gastro-oesophageal sphincter pressure profile was measured in a group of twenty women in the last trimester of pregnancy, all of whom suffered from heartburn. The mean gastric and the maximum sphincter pressures were calculated from the pressure profile, and the difference between these two was defined as the barrier pressure. After resting sphincter measurement ten of the women were given 10 mg metocolopramide intravenously, and the other ten had a placebo intravenous injection; 15 min later the sphincter pressures were measured again. Metoclopramide significantly increased the mean maximum sphincter and barrier pressures compared to the baseline pressure, and there was no significant difference between the pre- and post-injection pressures in the placebo group. However, the raised mean maximum sphincter and barrier pressures following metoclopramide were made up of four patients having very high pressures and six patients on whom metoclopramine appeared to have little effect. The clinical usefulness of metoclopramide in women in labour is discussed.
