520    Ergonomics is concerned with the 'fit' between people and 
       their work. With an increasing number of people becoming 
       conscious about their health and participating in sport or
       physical activity, ergonomics has become an increasingly 
       prominent concern within the sport and exercise sciences. 
       From the design of footwear and artificial playing 
       surfaces, to studies of proprioception by obese children, 
       the way in which people interact with their environment - 
       designed and natural - has important implications for 
       performance sport and for the design of safe and 
       beneficial forms of physical activity. -- from back cover
