ere is the textbook that makes the connection between functional anatomy, biomechanics, and the realities of exercise, rehabilitation, and sports - focusing on movement patterns of muscle groups rather than individual muscles. Students will appreciate the solid coverage of quantitative and anatomic aspects of human movement, and how the text actively integrates functional anatomy and basic biomechanics. Other features include one specific movement example featured in consecutive chapters for continuity; study questions concluding each chapter coded for three levels of challenge; a glossary after each chapter for quick reference to key terms plus student objectives for clear learning goals, references and suggested readings.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reading for all students of movement sciences,
By Jane Hall (England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biomechanical Basis of Human Movement (Hardcover)
This book provides essential information for the undergraduate student of movement science and will be of interest to physiotherapists, biomechanists and exercise specialists. It covers the musculoskeletal and neurological considerations for movement, functional anatomy and kinetic and kinematic analysis of human motion. The sections on functional anatomy are particularly helpful as they combine the regional anatomical facts with useful biomechanical information in a way that I have not seen before. The book is highly readable and the many diagrams and figures enhance the reader's understanding. All in all a book that is worth buying.

Biomechanical Basis of Human Movement,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Biomechanical Basis of Human Movement (Hardcover)
The book is very in-depth and helpful. The practice questions at the end of each chapter are very helpful in order to know whether or not you truly understand the material. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who is taking a Biomechanics class or even someone who just wants to learn more about the physics behind human movements.

I actually needed this book for a kinesiology class and I'm finding it very helpful!
