Forces : maintaining equilibrium or changing motion -- Linear kinematics : describing objects in linear motion -- Linear kinetics : explaining the causes of linear motion -- Work, power, and energy : explaining the causes of motion without Newton -- Torques and moments of force : maintaining equilibrium or changing angular motion -- Angular kinematics : describing objects in angular motion -- Angular kinetics : explaining the causes of angular motion -- Fluid mechanics : the effects of water and air -- Mechanics of biological materials : stresses and strains on the body -- The skeletal system : the rigid framework of the body -- The muscular system : the motors of the body -- The nervous system : control of the musculoskeletal system -- Qualitative biomechanical analysis to improve technique -- Qualitative biomechanical analysis to improve training -- Qualitative biomechanical analysis to understand injury development -- Technology in biomechanics
Helps students learn to appreciate the consequences of external forces, how the body generates internal forces to maintain position, and how forces create movement in physical activities. This title also offers a link to an accompanying web resource that includes all of the problems from the book, separated by chapter, and 10 sample problems
