Biomechanics and Movement

Written and edited by the same researchers who proposed and validated these methods, this book not only presents innovative methods for an efficient training and testing process (most of which are based on very simple technology and data processing methods), but also discusses the associated background information.

Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, is created expressly for those who will work in physical activity fields. Ideal for learning structural anatomy and how it affects movement, the text systematically assembles each component of the human body from bones and joints to nerves and blood vessels.

This updated edition features three new chapters and current research findings. Topics include prenatal growth and functional development, motor development, thermoregulation, obesity in childhood and adolescence and more.

In the highly technical field of biomechanics, research methods are frequently upgraded as the speed and sophistication of software and hardware technologies increase. This second edition features more than 100 new pieces of art and illustrations and chapters introducing various techniques and areas of research.
