BIOMECHANICS RESOURCES

A practical introduction to biomechanics conceptsBiomechanics of Sport and Exercise, Second Edition, introduces exercise and sport biomechanics in simple and concise terms rather than focusing on complex math and physics. The text allows students to discover the principles of biomechanics

through observation of common activities. By observing ordinary activities firsthand, students will be able to develop functional and meaningful explanations, resulting in a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanical concepts.

In-depth coverage of the relationship between structure and functionStructure and Function of the Musculoskeletal System, Second Edition, integrates anatomy and biomechanics to describe the intimate relationship between the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. This unique reference thoroughly explores the

biomechanical characteristics of musculoskeletal components and the response and adaptation of these components to the physical stress imposed by everyday activities.

Learn anatomy through hands-on activitiesKinetic Anatomy, Second Edition, continues to address how anatomy affects movement by discussing bones, tying the bones together to make articulations, placing muscles on the bones, and observing how the joints move when the muscles contract. The

text encourages students to learn anatomy through hands-on experiments, learning activities, and practice questions. Essentials of Interactive Functional Anatomy CD-ROM is included with this text to help reinforce student learning.Kinetic Anatomy, Second EditionRobert S.

Strategies to improve performance and prevent injuryThis updated edition concentrates on the various ways in which an athlete can modify technique to achieve optimal performance. The text relies on current research findings and proven methods in developing physical athletic performance to help students learn to

recognize and use appropriate methods to develop optimal physical qualities for skilled performance. The content also considers growth, development, and gender, and it makes students aware of mechanical overstresses that can impair performance and cause injuries.Applied Anatomy and Biomechanics in Sport, Second EditionTimothy R.

Upper Undergraduate and Graduate Level TextsThis page features textbooks that would be suitable for advanced courses in an upper-undergraduate or graduate-level curriculum.

Learn the fundamentals of electromyographyEssentials of Electromyography explains and explores the use of electrical recordings of muscle movements for students taking courses in EMG or any professional dealing with human movement. The text provides a solid review of the relationship between

human anatomy and EMG as well as how EMG is applied to clinical areas. It showcases over 160 figures and many qualitative explanations to communicate the principles of EMG. It also contains appendixes for readers with a deeper understanding of EMG and stronger backgrounds in math.Essentials of Electromyography Gary Kamen, PhD, and David A.

Solve fundamental movement problemsBiomechanical Analysis of Fundamental Movements presents a clear introduction to the elements of biomechanical analyses and the principles that underlie all human motion. Students are led through a progression of the principles of biomechanics into more

advanced study involving the mechanical and mathematical bases for a range of fundamental human activities and their variations. Each activity is analyzed using a specific seven-point format that helps readers identify the bimechanical concepts that explain how the movements are made and how they can be modified to correct problems. This text is an invaluable tool for those interested in pursuing the study of advanced quantitative biomechanics and developing advanced analytical skills in human movement.Biomechanical Analysis of Fundamental Human MovementsArthur E.

Examine the cause and effect of musculoskeletal injuryThis vastly improved second edition of Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury presents clear, accessible explanations of the biomechanical principles of injury and how injuries affect the normal function of muscles, connective tissue, and joints. Packed with

more than 400 illustrations, the text provides a solid foundation and thorough examination of the various aspects and factors involved in injury mechanisms in all body regions, and it serves as a comprehensive resource to assist in the proper diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries.

Integrate biomechanics and neurophysiology in the study of human movementDrawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles to produce human motion in relation

to biomechanical principles. This new edition provides a scientific foundation to the study of human movement, and as such it uses precise terms and definitions when discussing ideas and utilizing the international metric system (SI). Students will find an appendix that helps in identifying the SI metric units as well as other learning tools, including a glossary of terms and two other appendixes that cover conversion factors and equations.Neuromechanics of Human Movement, Fourth EditionRoger M.
