5.0 out of 5 stars a great help
This class, Biomechanics, was the hardest class I took in college, yet somehow ended-up being my favorite. The professor was really cool,and always helpful, which I really appreciated. I sold this wonderful textbook at the end of the class, but I wish I hadn't. I highly recommend this book by Peter McGinnis. In fact, I'd like to meet him sometime!

3.0 out of 5 stars Over- rated
This book was too simple and did not impress me, but did explain things fairly well. I pretty much only opened it once during my Biomechanics class and still earned an A-. Its basically an oversimplified physics book with some biomech info in it (in my opinion) so if you've already taken physics and did well you could probably get by without it and just go and pay...

This book was too simple and did not impress me, but did explain things fairly well. I pretty much only opened it once during my Biomechanics class and still earned an A-. Its basically an oversimplified physics book with some biomech info in it (in my opinion) so if you've already taken physics and did well you could probably get by without it and just go and pay attention in class. If you struggle at physics type problems it may have more value to you than it did for me.
It does have a good resale value though...

This textbook is basically simplified physics applied for the body...
It's written clear and is not too difficult in level

5.0 out of 5 stars UGH, Biomechanics, December 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The subject of biomechanics is DIFFICULT. The book was helpful in assisting with learning the subject matter. I would have liked to see more questions/answers for the first few chapters that dealt with math/alegra/geometry. Future Biomechanic students, good luck on this subject. The book will be helpful.

Easy to follow. Starts off easy and adjusts with a learning curve for all interesting in different aspects of Biomechanics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very in depth, January 14, 2006
Book is very in depth. Pictures in the book are pretty lame. Although, everything is explained well in the book. Not worth 65 dollars, buy the product used if you can.

Merry Christmas to everyone at Text Warehouse!
The text book arrived today - a week before it was supposed to! Thank you for getting this out to me so quickly especially with the holiday mail season. The hard back book is in fine condition a little scratch on the cover that doesn't affect the material within. As with other text books I hope to keep this one in as good a condition so that it can be sold again - hopefully recouperating some of the investment made for my education.

Have a blessed holiday season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Biomechanics Text!, October 11, 2002
This review is from: Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise (Hardcover)
This book is very accessable, which was obviously one of the goals of the author.

Read it slowly and carefully and you will undoubtedly aquire some of the understanding necessary to consider human movement in terms of natural mechanics.
