Presents a straightforward approach to the basic principles, theories and applications of biomechanics, and provides numerous techniques and examples for approaching biomechanical situations. LeVeau uses clearly defined, concise terms and real-life applications rather than advanced mathematics to make teaching and learning biomechanics easier.
An engaging introduction to human and animal movement seen through the lens of mechanics.
