Neuromechanics of Human Movement
Price 78.06 USD
The third edition of this foundation text - based on the concepts of the original text, "Neuromechanical Basis of Kinesiology" - features a new title that reflects its application to a broader array of human movement capabilities. This text expands on previous editions and retains popular features from the original text. Although expanded and updated, it still integrates biomechanics and neurophysiology to provide a theoretical framework for the study of human movement. This edition presents a more systematic and practical approach to problem solving, as well as updated content, and a CD-ROM support package for lecturers. Features include: bulleted summaries of each part which recap important learning points for students; a glossary of terms and three appendices with conversion factors and other background information; specific illustrations of the neuromechanics behind sport and rehabilitation movements; checklists to help students and teachers focus quickly; examples in each chapter, including figures, tables and equations; and more than 1500 updated references, plus a suggested reading list at the end of each chapter.
