Biomechanics For Dummies (For Dummies Series) (2014)
At once a basic and applied science, biomechanics focuses on the mechanical cause-effect relationships that determine the motions of living organisms. Biomechanics for Dummies examines the relationship between biological and mechanical worlds. It clarifies a vital topic for students of biomechanics who work in a variety of fields, including biological sciences, exercise and sports science, health sciences, ergonomics and human factors, and engineering and applied science.
Yoga Biomechanics: Stretching Redefined (2018)
The book gives teachers a grounding in biomechanics so that they can easily use yoga and/or stretching with their students. Most yoga teacher schools provide only limited training in anatomy and biomechanics, and the study of the effect of mechanical forces on structure and function is often overlooked and/or misunderstood. Aesthetic cues (i.e.
Sports Biomechanics: The Basics: Optimising Human Performance (2017)
Human beings are the ‘all-rounders’ of the natural world – while they aren’t naturally the quickest, biggest or strongest creatures, they can achieve more amazing physical feats than any other animal.Nowhere is this ability more pronounced than in sporting performance, the ideal area for studying the mechanics of a human – our biomechanics.
Foundations in Kinesiology and Biomechanics (2017)
Text A chapter organization that first focuses on typical or “normal” and then introduce the atypical or abnormal, building the knowledge base necessary to provide effective interventions. Discussions of the concept of mal-alignment (postural deviations) that are interwoven throughout the text. Coverage of the anatomy of the musculoskeletal and neurological systems.
Basic Biomechanics (2014)
The seventh edition of Basic Biomechanics has been significantly updated from the previous edition. The approach taken remains an integrated balance of qualitative and quantitative examples, applications, and problems designed to illustrate the principles discussed. This edition also retains the important sensitivity to the fact that some beginning students of biomechanics possess weak backgrounds in mathematics.
Basic Biomechanics (2011)
Basic Biomechanics provides balanced coverage of anatomical structure, biomechanics, and applications, as recommended by the Biomechanics Academy of AAHPERD. Numerous applications from sport, ergonomics, and daily living-both qualitative and quantitative—help demonstrate the relevance of biomechanical principles beyond elite sports performance and into everyday life.
The Comprehensive Textbook of Clinical Biomechanics [no access to course]: [formerly Biomechanics in Clinic and Research] (2018)
ALL-ENCOMPASSING and EXPANDED, now covering the WHOLE BODY (lower quadrant PLUS upper quadrant and spine) – The Comprehensive Textbook of Clinical Biomechanics (formerly Biomechanics in Clinic and Research) presents the latest research in a form which is accessible, practical, thorough and up-to-the minute.• Starts from basic principles and builds up to complex concepts • Highly practical with a constant clinical emphasis • Written for all health care professionals including physiotherapists and…
Hitting Biomechanics (2017)
Since the beginning of organized baseball there has been a great deal of material written on the extremely difficult skill of hitting a baseball. Hall of Fame players and former Major League hitting coaches have produced much of this literature, sharing decades of experience from the baseball “trenches” with those who aspire to follow in their profession.
Basic Biomechanics of the Musculoskeletal System (2012)
Now in its Fourth Edition, uses a direct and comprehensive approach to present students with a working knowledge of biomechanical principles of use in the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Rider Biomechanics: An Illustrated Guide: How to Sit Better and Gain Influence (2017)
The new book from Mary Wanless, the internationally renowned dressage coach and rider biomechanics specialist, and bestselling author of the Ride With Your Mind series Through Rider Biomechanics: An Illustrated Guide one gains a complete understanding of the biomechanics of the rider via a new understanding of fascia, the fabric of the body that links muscles into functional chains, rather like strings of sausages.
Basic Biomechanics: With Olc (2006)
This outstanding introduction to biomechanics uses the latest findings from the research literature to support and exemplify the concepts presented. Quantitative as well as qualitative examples of problems illustrate biomechanical principles; quantitative aspects are presented in a manageable, progressive fashion to make biomechanical principles accessible to all students, regardless of their mathematical skills.
Best Biomechanics Books to Read
We highly recommend you to buy all paper or e-books in a legal way, for example, on Amazon. But sometimes it might be a need to dig deeper beyond the shiny book cover. Before making a purchase, you can visit resources like Library Genesis and download some biomechanics books mentioned below at your own risk. Once again, we do not host any illegal or copyrighted files, but simply give our visitors a choice and hope they will make a wise decision.
