More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is an interactive text ideal for all health and sports professional students who require a basic understanding of the major biomechanical principles they meet in practice, including movement analysis and tissue mechanics. Starting from the point of zero-knowledge, this book presents what can be a very dry and difficult area, in an engaging and visual way using everyday objects to illustrate the principles and linking this to human anatomy and movement. Less time is spent on mathematics and classic mechanics with greater emphasis on how these principles are applied to professional practice. "Introductory Biomechanics" uses workbook-style learning diffusing manageable chunks of theory with learning activities and ultimately making the link back to clinical application. The accompanying CD is closely tied in with the text, containing video clips and real motion analysis data of walking, jumping, cycling and rising from a chair. There are also numerous animations of principles in action. The user is in control of most clips and animations and can change settings and manipulate variables practically showing biomechanics in action. The CD also contains a dynamic quiz drawing randomly from a pool of over 70 questions (MCQs, fill-in-the-blanks, true/false) which also provides feedback and percentage score on completion.

Format:Paperback
This book is a fantastic insight on biomechanics for the beginner, but after finishing the book will make you feel like a novice in the area. Extremely well written with good breakdowns and example explanations, making it very easy to follow and understand.
The style it is written is also very friendly and humerous, which actually makes it fun to read but still profesional at the same time.
The book itself covers many important topics in an easy to follow order, so when progressing onto the next chapter, previous knowledge must be used to follow and understand.
Great description on each topics, with depth of explanations on some of the harder to understand areas. Includes practical activities and cd-rom that refers to set parts of the text.
As a profesional in the area of health and fitness, this book has greatly improved my knowledge and progressed my potential for progression with clients. For this reason, it is a MUST HAVE for anyone within the same industry!
Only negative to say about the book, is it has left me wanting to know more about biomechanics, as it has only scratched the surface in an area which has extreme depth and ongoing studies.
Many thanks to Andy Kerr, will look forward to the next piece of literature.

Good if you have no idea about Biomechanics, a must if your new to the subject area, clear and concise, explains all the relevent details well in a step by step process, easy to follow and great for the Sports therapist of Physio as it has examples based around this area.
