Biomechanics of Human Movement
About This Book
Do you imagine working through difficult equations or formulas that seem to have no real use in life outside the classroom? Many people come to the subject of biomechanics with a bit of fear. But as you begin your exploration of this broad-ranging subject, you may soon come to realize that principles of mechanics plays a much larger role in your life than you first thought, no matter your life goals or career choice. For example, think about how you walked to work or school this morning. You ap
