Serving as an introduction to biomechanics including quantitative as well as qualitative examples of problems designed to illustrate biomechanical principles, this text has been revised overall to include simplification of language and topics for ease in understanding. Quantitative aspects are presented in a manageable, progressive fashion to make these principles accessible to all students, regardless of their mathematical skills. The text contains introductory problems which allow students to gain mastery of newly processed skills, whilst additional problems further challenge students to work through more difficult topics.

By introducing mathematical concepts simply and progressing to more difficult levels and by providing support in terms of examples, problems and the appendix on math skills, the text helps students understand this quantitative field.
Takes an integrated approach including some mechanical concepts in the anatomical chapters (4-9) and anatomical concepts in the biomechanical chapters (10-15) providing coverage of the three key areas of anatomical structure, biomechanics and application required by the Biomechanics Academy of AAHPERD.
Use of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons joint angle measurement scheme gives students planning clinical careers such as physical therapy a head start in understanding the medical literature.
Lab experiences/suggestions and ideas in every chapter provide instructors and students with starting points for lab exploration to help students apply theory.
Strong pedagogy includes key concepts, marginal definitions, sample problems, chapter summaries, Introductory and additional problems, and references gives students the tools they need to learn the material.
