Abstract

This book explains the anatomy function of different parts of the body and examines the types of movement important in sports activities. This book gives a detailed analysis of movement, general characteristics of bones, joints, and muscles, as well as guidelines for flexibility and strength training. It emphasizes important factors for maximizing performance and is a bridge between biomechanics and the practice of sport. The book's unique approach features a rigorous application of biomechanics to sport training. Mechanics are related to the use of muscles in specific sports. Coverage is both theoretical and practical, making the book useful both for academic study and as a training aid. Highly illustrated format helps readers understand key concepts and important details. Fully updated content provides the latest knowledge on the subject. New illustrations and new, engaging text layout draw the reader in and bring important concepts to life. Additional coverage has been added on several topics, including strength training.

Abstract

This is an advanced biomechanics text using mechanical, mathematical and biological definitions and concepts and the application to human movements. It provides a brief but explicit introduction to the elements of biomechanical analyses and the principles that underlie all human motion and then delves into a complete array of fundamental human movements and their components. Readers are led through a progression of logical biomechanical indices that help to identify and build on mechanical and mathematical concepts that explain how human movements are achieved and can be modified.The unique approach of this book is the focus on fundamental human activities as the area within which to develop advanced analytical skills. The author shows how to perform analyses using examples that move from the simple to complex.Superbly illustrated, this book will be invaluable to those pursuing studies in advanced quantitative biomechanics.
