Biomechanical Basis of Human Movement integrates basic anatomy, physics, calculus, and physiology for the study of human movement. The book provides a uniquely quantitative approach to biomechanics, and is organized into three parts:Foundations of Human Movement, Functional Anatomy, and Mechanical Analysis ofHuman Motion. New to this edition: basic mathematics information, increased practical applications, and a new chapter on emphasizing techniques for measuring the strength of human tissue. A companion Website (http://connection.LWW.com/go/hamill) provides student resources in the form of multiple choice and true/false quizzes to test knowledge of the information covered in each chapter. Instructor resources include a test bank, an image bank, Power Point presentation slides, and suggestions for additional studies and class activities.
