Description
This book provides an overview of human motion studies (biomechanics) using martial arts as extensive examples and references to fundamental theory. It covers in-depth the anatomical foundation of biomechanics, the biomechanical and physiological foundation of human motion, and fundamentals of biomechanics. The book begins with musculoskeletal anatomy of the most important muscles and their functions. The author describes the biomechanical and physiological foundations of human motion. He covers kinematics and kinetics—the core of biomechanics—and includes examples for martial arts and sports activities that emphasize the concepts described.
Features
- Examines biomechanics and human motion studies through the lens of martial arts
- Includes examples from a number of different schools such as judo, karate, etc
- Emphasizes sports biomechanics
- Contains end of chapter problems and extensive references
