Book Description
This book provides an opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of biomechanics and understand how those concepts apply to human movement. Introduction to Biomechanics provides a beginner overview of biomechanics concepts such as movement in one and two dimensions (linear kinematics); work, power, and energy; linear kinetics; force and the laws of motion; linear momentum and collisions, and angular kinematics and kinetics. While it assumes students are familiar with high school algebra, most math is straightforward – for instance, involving equations with one unknown and/or right angle trigonometry – and examples are provided throughout.
