Focusing on the quantitative nature of biomechanics,
Biomechanical
Basis of Movement, Fourth Edition
integrates current literature,
meaningful numerical examples, relevant applications, hands-on
exercises, and functional anatomy, physics, calculus, and physiology
to help students—regardless of their mathematical background—
understand the full continuum of human movement potential.
Unique in the market for its combination of rigor, readability, and
evidence-based information, the book focuses on the movement of
muscle groups rather than individual muscles to provide students
with a holistic understanding of human movement.
This Fourth Edition features a new problem generator for instructors,
which randomly generates an unlimited number of numerical
problems for student practice, and free MaxTRAQ motion analysis
software that shows biomechanics in action and allows students to
track data and analyze motion in a in a dynamic, video-enriched
online environment.
New and Unique Features:
3
Hands-on exercises
involve students in working out
biomechanics problems to illustrate concepts and build
understanding.
3
Illustrative and explicit art
clarifies important points and makes
complex concepts easier to understand.
3
In-text references
direct students to MaxTRAQ motion analysis
software where they can track data and analyze motion in an
intuitive online environment.
3
Quantitative examples
are presented in a detailed, logical
manner to build student understanding and dispel
misconceptions.
3
Citations to current biomechanics literature
provide access to
the latest research in the field.
