Basic Biomechanics provides balanced coverage of anatomical structure, biomechanics, and applications, as recommended
by the Biomechanics Academy of AAHPERD. Numerous applications from sport, ergonomics, and daily living-both qualitative
and quantitative�help demonstrate the relevance of biomechanical principles beyond elite sports performance and
into everyday life. The quantitative aspects of biomechanics are presented in a manageable, progressive fashion,
and a mathematics appendix helps make the material accessible to all students, regardless of mathematical skill
level.
