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 Movement, Fourth Edition 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 flexibility in structuring your course. The Fourth Edition offers new content, new examples and applications, and online teaching and learning resources to save you time and help your students succeed. Instructor Resources: NEW! A robust problem generator randomly generates an unlimited number of numerical problems you can assign to students for practice and self-testing. Brownstone test generator, loaded with pre-made text-specific questions, saves you time and makes creating and printing tests easy. Pre-loaded PowerPoint presentations speed lecture preparation. A complete image bank enhances lecture and exam preparation. WebCT and Blackboard Ready Cartridges allow you to connect to your preferred course management system with ease. Student Resources: Answers to the text’s review questions help students master key concepts. Confidence-building practice quizzes allow students to test their understanding of key concepts and prepare for exams. MaxTRAQ motion analysis software brings concepts to life and allows students to track data and analyze motion in a in a dynamic, video-enriched environment. The fully searchable textbook online is ideal for review on the go! Handy online appendices present information on units of measurement and trigonometric functions, as well as hands- on data, for quick reference. Review: Great book! - This is a very book with plenty of information focusing on the biomechanics of human movement. The article wading is easy to digest and provides an in depth look into how the body works. Review: Great Buy - This book has a lot of great information, i love how it is clear and how it provides you with examples to better help understand the concepts.

Using this as a student, class required textbook. I have mixed feelings about this book. The content is great, and simple to understand. One big qualm I have, however, is that all of the textbook answers have to be accessed online with an activation code. You may have to pay for that separately if you bought this book used. Leaving the answers out of the textbook reduces it's size significantly, but I'd prefer having the answers.. You know, in the book itself? Why not just make the textbook a pdf at that point?

Great book... Expected better quality. Book was used.
This is more of a conceptual approach and it is great to understand biomechanics at an elementary level. The quality it came in was used and thought I purchased new.

Absolut empfehlenswert
Dieses Buch ist definitiv eine Empfehlung für jeden Sportwissenschaftler/Studenten oder Trainer. Es behandelt sehr übersichtlich und dennoch detailreich funktionelle Anatomie und Biomechanik.

This is a very technical book with lots of physics angles and equations. I have given it 5 stars for people who may require a very technically orientated book. However it is overly technical for lower limb biomechanics which is what I am studying through a podiatry degree. It is probably inappropriate for me and for that I would have given it 1 star. The book itself is of good print and page quality with good explanations of whatever it is it wants to explain along with accompanying diagrams.
