Product Description: Advances in Motor Learning and Control surveys the latest, most important advances in the field, surpassing the confines of debate between proponents of the information processing and dynamical systems.Zelaznik, editor of the Journal of Motor Behavior from 1989 to 1996, brings together a variety of perspectives...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Ageless Spine, Lasting Health clearly illustrates just how the body is designed to work and what true fitness and graceful aging can look like when we simply sit, stand, bend, walk, lift, reach, and even sleep in a natural way.

Product Description: Book by Logan, Gene A., McKinney, Wayne C.

Product Description: An introductory book on the areas of anatomy and kinesiology that apply to dancers. Written in clear, understandable language, it sets out the basic structures of the human body and shows their interactions. The scientific information is applied to functions of dancing such as stretching, breathing, balance, warming up, training effect, and growth spurts...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Applied Anatomy and Biomechanics in Sport explains how "state of the art" advances in sports science can be used in coaching to achieve an optimal skill performance, either for the average performer or the elite athlete. This book focuses on the individual rather than the group coaching approach of the past. It is the first book of its type to systematically apply anatomy and biomechanics to sports coaching. The book is highly applied and concentrates on the ways in which the human body and an individual's technique can be modified to achieve optimal performance.

Product Description: APPLIED BIOMECHANICS: CONCEPTS AND CONNECTIONS is comprehensive in coverage and focuses on making connections between biomechanics and other subdisciplines of Exercise Science. The text begins with a qualitative, conceptual explanation and then moves to a mathematical one, including both qualitative and some mathematical examples...read more

"Basic Biomechanics" provides an introduction to biomechanics using the latest findings from the research literature to support and exemplify the concepts presented. This edition also includes the relevant Web sites and applications from ergonomics and daily living, as well as from sport.

Product Description: This classic text has been completely revised and updated to reflect the latest advances in orthopaedic biomechanics, and the successful application of mechanical laws to the locomotor system of the human body. The Second Edition features new chapters on cell-matrix interactions in articular cartilage and on the quantitative anatomy of diarthrodial joints, as well as expanded coverage of the biomechanics of artificial hip and knee joints...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: An introduction in understandable language to the concepts of biomechanics and their application to each t&f event. Essential reading for any coach interested in proper technique and performance improvement. Well illustrated. 55 photos, 31 other illus. 1996.

ere is the textbook that makes the connection between functional anatomy, biomechanics, and the realities of exercise, rehabilitation, and sports - focusing on movement patterns of muscle groups rather than individual muscles. Students will appreciate the solid coverage of quantitative and anatomic aspects of human movement, and how the text actively integrates functional anatomy and basic biomechanics. Other features include one specific movement example featured in consecutive chapters for continuity; study questions concluding each chapter coded for three levels of challenge; a glossary after each chapter for quick reference to key terms plus student objectives for clear learning goals, references and suggested readings.
