James Watkins PhD FPEA FBASES

4.9/5 (13706 ratings)

Description:The purpose of this book is to develop knowledge and understanding of fundamental biomechanical principles and their application in qualitative and quantitative analysis of movement. The key to understanding biomechanics is a thorough understanding of the concepts of force, Newton's laws of motion, work and energy. All of the fundamental biomechanical concepts and principles will be explained from first principles and illustrated with reference to a large number of examples. No previous knowledge of mechanics will be assumed. An appreciation of both the impulse-momentum approach and the work-energy approach to movement analysis is necessary in order to fully understand biomechanical analysis of movement and this book covers both approaches.The organisation and presentation of the book is based on the open-learning model:Chapter overviews to summarise the content of each chapterAll biomechanical concepts and principles are explained from first principlesKey terms defined in a GlossaryApplied examples to illustrate all concepts and principlesExtensive use of figures and conceptual modelsReview questions with detailed solutions to all numerical questionsPractical worksheets with example resultsReferences to guide further learningExtensive indexExtensive glossaryWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with An Introduction to Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise.
