  This text presents practical and objective information on designing, evaluating and selecting equipment, from athletic footwear to rowing machines. It addressses three major categories of equipment: foot-ground interfaces, striking implements, and personal fitness equipment. Each of the three parts opens with a chapter of discussion on biomechanical considerations relevant to the part's subject matter. Subsequent chapters feature assessments of specific pieces of equipment.
