I read almost every page!!,

This review is from: Kinesiology: Scientific Basis of Human Motion with Dynamic Human 2.0 and PowerWeb: Health and Human Performance (Hardcover)
This book is amazing! I actually wanted to read every page of my assigned reading and it was very easy to understand. The diagrams are only drawings, but they are simple and realistic. The book is outlined very well and I highly recommend it.

Kinesiology,
This review is from: Kinesiology: Scientific Basis of Human Motion (Hardcover)
This is a great book that goes very in depth on many different levels. It not only touches on kinesiology but also bio mechanics.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Decent & Informative,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kinesiology: Scientific Basis of Human Motion. (Paperback)
A good book for beginning as well as for reference. However the topic Kinesiology needs as much as illustrations and as much as colour pictures to make fundamentals clear, which is not abundant in this book. For example Black & White drawing of knee joint in the book doesn't make things much clear when compared to coloured picture as in "anatomy of strength training" or when viewed in video on internet.
Language is easy although it does start assuming you have read some scientific terminology before. However this text is worth buying.
