Like the groundbreaking first edition Biomechanics of Sport & Exercise Second Edition " introduces exercise & sport biomechanics in simple & concise terms rather than focusing on complex math & physics. With a unique presentation of biomechanical concepts supported with illustrations the book helps students learn to appreciate external forces & their effects how the body generates forces to maintain position & how forces create movement in physical activities. " Biomechanics of Sport & Exercise Second Edition " allows students to discover the principles of biomechanics through observation of common activities. By observing ordinary activities firsthand students will be able to develop functional & meaningful explanations resulting in a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanical concepts. This practical approach combines striking visual elements with clear & concise language to encourage active learning & enhanced comprehension. Many new benefits are in the second edition for students & instructors alike: -More sample problems throughout the book to illustrate problem-solving techniques-A quick reference guide of frequently used equations printed on the inside cover-A new chapter on technology used in the study of biomechanics-Review questions at the end of each chapter to test the readers understanding of important concepts -A new instructor guide outlining each chapter & step-by-step solutions to the quantitative problems presented as well as a test package" Biomechanics of Sport & Exercise Second Edition " is ideal for those needing a deeper understanding of biomechanics from a qualitative perspective. Designed for students who will likely take only one course in biomechanics the text prepares students to utilize the principles of biomechanics as professionals in the physical activity field. Thoroughly updated & expanded " Biomechanics of Sport & Exercise Second Edition " makes the biomechanics of physical activity easy to understand & apply." ...

Students will learn to appreciate the consequences of external forces how the body generates internal forces to maintain position & how forces create movement in physical activities. The accompanying web resource

Includes:: all of the problems from the book separated by chapter plus 10 sample problems. This text is also enhanced with access to Max TRAQ Educational 2D software which enables students to analyze & quantify real-world sport movements in video clips & upload their own video content for analysis. In this book exercise & sport biomechanics are made simple.

Biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare from cancer screening to diagnosing HIV from blood transfusion for surgery to food poisoning & infection control. Without biomedical scientists the diagnosis of disease the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment & research into the causes & cures of disease would not be possible. The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series is written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a Biomedical Scientist may be exposed
- from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science. Alongside volumes exploring specific biomedical themes & related laboratory diagnosis an overarching Biomedical Science Practice volume gives a grounding in the professional & experimental skills with which any Biomedical Scientist must be equipped. The series * Understands the complex roles of Biomedical Scientists in the modern practice of medicine. * Understands the development needs of employers & the Profession. * Addresses the need for understanding of a range of fundamental sciences in the context of Biomedicine. * Places the theoretical aspects of Biomedical Science in their practical context. Biomedical Science Practice presents the essential practical & professional skills that every biomedical scientist should master making it the perfect foundation for the study of each of the key subject specialisms that maybe encountered in the biomedical lab. The book reviews a broad range of professional skills & concepts including health & safety considerations personal development & communication & also introduces the key experimental & analytical approaches that form the basis of the investigation & diagnosis of clinical conditions. Drawing on the wealth of experience of a range of biomedical science practitioners & educators Biomedical Science Practice is the ideal companion throughout your biomedical science education & training. Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre to accompany Biomedical Science Practice

Features: For registered adopters of the book: * Figures from the book available to download For students: * An interactive Digital Microscope encouraging the exploration of tissue samples * Self-assessment modules to help you to check & reinforce understanding of the basic science introduced in each volume * Video podcasts including interviews with practicing biomedical scientists & in the lab footage showing biomedical science in practice
