Introduction to the study of kinesiology -- Anatomical and physiological fundamentals of human motion -- The musculoskeletal system: the skeletal framework and its movements -- The musculoskeletal system: the musculature -- The neuromuscular basis of human motion -- The upper extremity: the shoulder region -- The upper extremity: the elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand -- The lower extremity: the hip region -- The lower extremity: the knee, ankle, and foot -- The spinal column and thorax -- Fundamentals of biomechanics -- Terminology and measurement in biomechanics -- The description of human motion -- The conditions of linear motion -- The conditions of rotary motion -- The center of gravity and stability -- Motor skills: principles and applications -- The standing posture -- Kinesiology of fitness and exercise -- Moving objects: pushing and pulling -- Moving objects: throwing, striking, and kicking -- Locomotion: solid surface -- Locomotion: the aquatic environment -- Locomotion: when suspended and free of support -- Impact -- Instrumentation for motion analysis.
"This introductory text provides undergraduate students with the basics of anatomy, physiology, and the applications of kinesiology. It uses a qualitative approach with an easy-to-follow writing style. Theory is balanced with many sport and real-world applications to promote the integrated nature of kinesiology, including the anatomical and biomechanical concepts."--Publisher description.
