Description: "Biomechanics and Biology of Movement provides an integrated, multidisciplinary overview of four aspects of human movement: energy and work, balance and control of movement, mechanical load, and fatigue and exercise. The expertise of 31 international researchers in biomechanics, exercise physiology, and motor behavior is supplemented by over 130 equations and 220 illustrations.".

"A text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in human performance, it uses an integrated scientific approach to explore solutions to problems in human movement. As an interdisciplinary reference volume for biomechanists, exercise physiologists, motor behaviorists, athletic trainers, therapists, kinesiologists, and students, Biomechanics and Biology of Movement offers an in-depth understanding and appreciation of the many factors comprising and affecting human movement.

In addition, it will give you the insights and information you require to address and resolve individual performance problems."--BOOK JACKET.
