Biomechanical Basis of Human Movement, 4th Edition J. Hamill, K. Knutzen

Focusing on the quantitative nature of biomechanics, Biomechanical Basis of Movement , Fourth Edition integrates current literature, meaningful numerical examples, relevant applications, hands-on exercises, and functional anatomy, physics, calculus, and physiology to help students—regardless of their mathematical background— understand the full continuum of human movement potential.

Unique in the market for its combination of rigour, readability, and evidence- based information, the book focuses on the movement of muscle groups rather than individual muscles to provide students with a holistic understanding of human movement. This Fourth Edition features a new problem generator for instructors, which randomly generates an unlimited number of numerical problems for student practice, and free MaxTRAQ motion analysis software that shows biomechanics in action and allows students to track data and analyse motion in a dynamic, video-enriched online environment. 978-1-4511-9404-3 / 528 pp / 425 illus / 2014 / £45.95 €55.00

Motor Behavior: Connecting Mind and Body for Optimal Performance J. Ives

Motor Behavior takes a functional approach to motor control and learning that is in keeping with the modern use and understanding of these topics. It takes the basic concepts of motor learning and motor control and integrates them to discuss questions such as how our emotions affect physiological outcome. This title is unique in that it goes beyond just explaining motor control and motor learning to help students understand how these disciplines interact with each other to affect behavior. 978-1-4511-7589-9 / 384 pp / 130 illus / 2013 / £68.00 €82.00
