Biophysical foundations of human movement

The Biophysical Foundations of Human Movement provides a long overdue, balanced introduction to the anatomical, mechanical, physiological, neural and psychological bases of human movement. The book has sections covering each of the major biophysical subdisciplines of human movement (functional anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, motor control and sport and exercise psychology) and within each section a common thematic organization of chapters devoted to basic concepts, to maturational and ageing changes in each movement dimension across the lifespan, and to adaptational changes in movement capability arising from training and lifestyle factors. Boxed areas within each chapter provide more detailed exposition of some pivotal studies which have underpinned current knowledge.

  • "Biophysical Foundations of Human Movement, Third Edition, introduces readers to key concepts concerning the anatomical, mechanical, physiological, neural, and psychological bases of human movement. The text provides undergraduate students with a broad foundation for more detailed study of the subdisciplines of human movement and for cross-disciplinary studies. Readers will learn the multi-dimensional changes in movement and movement potential that occur throughout the life span as well as those changes that occur as adaptations to training, practice, and other lifestyle factors. This third edition includes the latest research and improved presentation to address areas of growth and change in the fields of human movement. - Publisher."
