</p>Performance Assessment for Field Sports Review
This is an excellent book for a number of reasons1) good coverage of material starting at an introductory level.
2) up to date and comprehensive reference list.
3) modestly priced.
My only concern is the lack of coverage of wireless based microsensor techniques ( eg accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetic sensors, speed gates etc) which greatly enhance measurements in the field.
Congratulations to the authors. I have recommended the book to a number of friends.
