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.
