Major sections cover Foundations of Human Movement, Functional Anatomy, and Mechanical Analysis of Human Motion.ical Analysis of Human Motion. Organized in a logical progression, each chapter begins with basic This Third Edition includes new material on physical activity and bone formation, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, factors influencing force and velocity development in muscle, and the effect of training on muscle activation. New and updated examples from sports, ergonomics, orthopedics, and exercise science illustrate the principles of human movement. The book comes with MaxTRAQ motion analysis software, an easy-to-use tool to track data and analyze various motions selected by the authors.

    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.

    This book really explains the essence of Biomechanics well. You are able to read through the entire book to get a detailed view at the world of biomechanics, or just read through the main headings to get an introduction to the field. It is a very well written and well organized text.

    Was not very useful for my specific biomechanics of the human body class. I would ask teacher prior to renting if book is necessary.
