Book Overview
Biomechanical Basis of Human Movement integrates basic anatomy, physics, calculus, and physiology for the study of human movement. The book provides a uniquely quantitative approach to biomechanics, and is organised into three parts: Foundations of Human Movement, Functional Anatomy, and Mechanical Analysis of Human Motion. New to this edition: basic mathematics information, increased practical applications, and a new chapter on emphasising techniques for measuring the strength of human tissue. A companion Website (http: //connection.LWW.com/go/hamill) provides student resources in the form of multiple choice and true/false quizzes to test knowledge of the information covered in each chapter. Instructor resources include a test bank, an image bank, Power Point presentation slides, and suggestions for additional studies and class activitie

I actually needed this book for a kinesiology class and I'm finding it very helpful!
Essential reading for all students of movement sciences
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book provides essential information for the undergraduate student of movement science and will be of interest to physiotherapists, biomechanists and exercise specialists. It covers the musculoskeletal and neurological considerations for movement, functional anatomy and kinetic and kinematic analysis of human motion. The sections on functional anatomy are particularly helpful as they combine the regional anatomical facts with useful biomechanical information in a way that I have not seen before. The book is highly readable and the many diagrams and figures enhance the reader's understanding. All in all a book that is worth buying.
