From the Publisher:
Uses updated analysis examples throughout the text to help better explain anatomical and biomechanical concepts to undergraduates.
Expands applications to include more examples with the young, the elderly, and the disabled, and are not only sport-specific broadening the appeal of the book to a wider range of students.
Focuses on more common activities rather than activities such as synchronized swimming to increase the relevance for students.
Updates the coverage of bones in the elderly population and the implications of bone loss for them.
Provides online resources for students and instructors through an online learning center, which includes interactive quizzing, an online lab manual, web links, password-protected downloadable ancillaries for instructors, and new books come packaged with PowerWeb access card, a dynamic website with articles, exercises and news updates.
Examines new technologies in the area of kinesiology to keep students up-to-date with the most recent developments in the field.
Includes a glossary that gives students an easily accessible resource for unfamiliar terms.
Considers variables such as gender, age, and skill level in both illustrations and text to provide students with information on realistic situations, not just ideal situations.
