Basic Biomechanics 6th Edition by Susan Hall gives balanced coverage of anatomical structure, biomechanics, and functions, as recommended by the Biomechanics Academy of AAHPERD. Numerous applications from sport, ergonomics, and every day living-both qualitative and quantitative-assist display the relevance of biomechanical ideas past elite sports activities efficiency and into on a regular basis life.
The quantitative aspects of biomechanics are presented in a manageable, progressive vogue, and a mathematics appendix helps make the material accessible to all students, regardless of mathematical skill level. Accordingly, the text has been revised, expanded, and updated, with the goals being to present relevant info from recent research findings and to prepare college students to research human biomechanics.
The method taken remains an integrated balance of qualitative and quantitative examples, purposes, and issues designed for example the ideas discussed. The sixth edition additionally retains the important sensitivity to the fact that some starting students of biomechanics possess weak backgrounds in mathematics. Because of this, it includes numerous pattern problems and applications, together with practical advice on approaching quantitative problems.
New content has been added to provide updated scientific information on relevant topics. All chapters have been revised to incorporate the latest information from the biomechanics research literature, and numerous new sport and clinical applications and examples are included. Topics added or expanded include fall prevention in older adults, vibration effects on the musculoskeletal system, the female athlete triad, exercise and bone, bone microarchitecture, articular cartilage repair, swimming biomechanics, and stretching protocols related to strength, power, and injury potential.
The Biomechanics Academy of AAHPERD recommends that undergraduate students in biomechanics devote approximately one-third of study time to anatomical considerations, one-third to mechanical considerations, and the remainder to applications. The integrated approach to coverage of these areas taken in previous editions is continued in this sixth edition.
All chapters in this new edition contain discussion of a broad range of updated human movement applications, many of which are taken from the recent biomechanics research literature. Special emphasis has been placed on examples that span all ages and address clinical and daily living issues, as well as sport applications.
The integrated laboratory manual appears at the end of each chapter with references to simulations on the text�s Online Learning Center. The soft-cover design with perforation allows laboratory manual pages to be completed and turned in to instructors.
Technology is integrated throughout the text, with an Online Learning Center box appearing on every chapter-opening page and directing students to resources online, while lists of related websites at the end of each chapter offer pertinent sources to students. Problems and laboratory experiences are incorporated throughout the text and updated to reference the Online Learning Center.
This book can be bundled (for a small additional price) with MaxTRAQ� software. MaxTRAQ is a downloadable motion analysis software that offers an easy-to-use tool to track data and analyze various motion elected by the authors. The MaxTRAQ software includes video clips of motions such as golf swing and gait, 2D Manual Tracking, Coverage of distance and angles�and more!
