Introduction to applied sports mechanics -- Sport mechanics anatomy -- Sports mechanics fundamentals -- Linear motion in sport -- Linear kinetics in sports -- Angular motion in sport -- Angular kinetics in sports -- Stability and instability -- Sports kinetics -- Moving through fluids -- Putting your knowledge of sport mechanics to work -- Analyzing sport skills -- Identifying and correcting errors in sport skills -- Selected sport skills.

Summary: "Applied Sport Mechanics, Fourth Edition, helps undergraduate students understand how the fundamental laws of human movement affects athlete performance. Foundational principles of kinetics, kinetics, and sports technique are clearly presented and then explored through a variety of applied scenarios. This latest edition builds on the success of the previous editions and offers much new material: A web resource with new chapter review questions and practical activities that help students learn and apply complex theories to real-life situations An array of updated pedagogical aids, including a glossary and chapter objectives to reinforce learning A full-color design for more engaging visual aids Content reorganized into two parts and 13 chapters to more readily fit the topics into a typical semester course structure Expanded sidebars that apply concepts directly to sport The text also includes a full ancillary package – an instructor guide, test package, and presentation package plus image bank – available online at www.HumanKinetics.com/AppliedSportMechanics. This fourth edition of Applied Sport Mechanics is a highly practical text, destined to be the go-to biomechanics and sport mechanics resource for instructors and professionals alike in kinesiology and sport-related fields."--Back cover
