Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise

By Gerry Carr and Peter M. McGinnis

Book Overview

Like the groundbreaking first edition, Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise, Second Edition, introduces exercise and sport biomechanics in simple and concise terms rather than focusing on complex math and physics. With a unique presentation of biomechanical concepts supported with illustrations, the book helps students learn to appreciate external forces and their effects, how the body generates forces to maintain position, and how forces create movement in physical activities.

Customer Reviews

Very good!!!

This book was in very good condition. There was visible wear but it wasn't bad enough to work with. I use this book a lot for class so I'm glad it wasn't in bad shape.

Bio book

Easy to follow. Starts off easy and adjusts with a learning curve for all interesting in different aspects of Biomechanics.

Very in depth

Book is very in depth. Pictures in the book are pretty lame. Although, everything is explained well in the book. Not worth 65 dollars, buy the product used if you can.

Great Biomechanics Text!

This book is very accessable, which was obviously one of the goals of the author.Read it slowly and carefully and you will undoubtedly aquire some of the understanding necessary to consider human movement in terms of natural mechanics.
