When participating in sports, competitively or recreationally, most of us want to perform our best. In doing so, we try to move our bodies in specific ways to achieve these goals. The purpose of Biomechanics of Human Movement and Sport is to explain and analyze these human movements throughout the sport environment. It also illustrates relationships between factors from a qualitative perspective.

Engineering

The purpose of Kinesiological Bases for Exercise and Sport is to present an anatomical foundation for the analysis of human movement and how muscle forces involved in facilitating or inhibiting movement are modified.
The first part of the book deals with anatomical structures, reference frames involved in movement, movement terminology, and worksheets for analyzing movements. The second part of this book examines muscles of the axial and appendicular skeleton, their attachments (origins and insertions), roles, and actions possible at single and multiple joints. The third part of this book discusses how movements are analyzed, how a skill can be broken down into phases and sub-phases, how muscles are recruited to produce the desired movement or joint action, and how muscle forces can be modified to affect movement and skill activities.
