Synopsis
Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise launches a new genre of text; it’s less complicated and much more practical. This book starts by showing students the practical applications of mechanics and concludes with an entire section on applied qualitative analysis to improve understanding of technique, training, and injury development. Splendid visual elements combine with clear, concise language throughout.
Rather than inundate students with complex math and physics, this engaging text is organized to help readers discover the principles of mechanics for themselves. This approach creates more active learning and better understanding.
The book features • student objectives at the beginning of each chapter, • boxed self-experiments throughout the text, • lists of key terms at the end of each chapter, • chapter summaries, • review questions at the end of each chapter, and • a complete glossary.
Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise is designed for students who likely will take only one course in biomechanics and will need to apply the principles of this subject as a professional in the physical activity field. The author uses selected sports examples repeatedly throughout the text in order to link students’ knowledge about biomechanics to specific sports.
Biomechanics becomes user-friendly when your students read and use Peter McGinnis’s groundbreaking new undergraduate text.
