f f Succinct chapter-ending summaries allow students to review, test their understanding, and prepare for quizzes and exams.

DESCRIPTION Help your students understand the full continuum of human movement potential with the Fourth Edition of this rigorous— yet understandable— introductory text on the market. Focusing on the quantitative nature of biomechanics, Biomechanical Basis of Human Movement integrates current literature, meaningful numerical examples, relevant applications, hands-on exercises, and functional anatomy, physics, calculus, and physiology to help your students develop a holistic understanding of human movement. The book’s chapters are essentially self-contained, allowing you maximum teaching exibility in structuring your course. FEATURES f f A powerful new problem generator randomly generates an unlimited number of quantitative problems for student practice and self-testing. f f New and updated applications drawn from sports, ergonomics, orthopedics, and exercise science (including applications designed to appeal to pre-physical therapy majors) demonstrate the relevance of biomechanics to everyday life and future careers. f f New, streamlined anatomical content keeps focus on biomechanics without sacrificing necessary foundational knowledge. f f Hands-on exercises involve students in working out biomechanics problems to illustrate concepts and build understanding. f f Illustrative and explicit art clarifies important points and makes complex concepts easier to understand. f f In-text references direct students to MaxTRAQ motion analysis software where they can track data and analyze motion in an intuitive online environment.
