Contents:
Biomechanics and related movement disciplines -- Describing the system and its motion -- Paradigms for studying motion of the system -- Interaction of forces and the system -- Linear motion of the system -- Angular motion of the system -- System balance and stability -- The system as a machine -- System motion in a fluid medium -- The system as a projectile -- Biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system -- Connection by application.
Summary: "Applied biomechanics: concepts and connections, second edition provides a clear understanding of topics in the field of biomechanics while also relating those topics to other fields of study. With that in mind, each chapter contains concepts and connections sections, with the concepts section presenting the nuts and bolts of the mechanics of movement and the connections section showing how these core to topics are used in the many diverse areas within the movement sciences. This text is written to meet the needs of students who aspire to any fields of human movement or performance, making the concepts of biomechanics relevant no matter their ultimate choice of profession."--Back cover
