Human Movement

Helps undergraduate students understand how the fundamental laws of human movement affect athletes' performances. Foundational principles of kinetics, kinematics, and sports technique are clearly presented and then explored through a variety of applied scenarios.

The textbook describes the complexity of the human dynamic behavior in space and its ability to produce coordinated, adaptive, dynamically stable movements under steady conditions while negotiating complex terrains and experiencing unexpected perturbations.

Blending up-to-date biomechanical knowledge with professional application knowledge, this second edition presents a clear, conceptual approach to understanding biomechanics within the context of the qualitative analysis of human movement.

An open access, introductory text intended for students and professionals in the field of exercise science and exercise physiology. It contains instructional videos on the delivery of exercises and their variations, with supplementary activities on the selection of exercises, muscle recruitment and activation during exercises, and the adaptation of exercises for various populations.
