Biomechanics for Today's World provides students with a foundational, essential introduction to biomechanics, the study of human and animal movement. The text offers a wide variety of examples and applications of biomechanical knowledge to showcase the benefit of understanding the complexity of biological movement.

The interactive ebook format allows students to read the text of each chapter and engage with digital learning activities-including YouTube videos, interactive videos with embedded knowledge checks, assignments, and quizzes-all within a single system.

Opening chapters provide students with a brief overview of the history of the biomechanics field, introductory information about the discipline, and insight into the various areas of biomechanical research, including sports, daily life, and medicine. Additional chapters cover tools of the trade, including essential equipment and the application of vector mathematics, as well as linear kinematics, linear kinetics, angular kinematics, and angular kinetics. Closing chapters explore fluid dynamics and the future of biomechanics.

Providing students with a uniquely interactive and applied introduction to the field, Biomechanics for Today's World is ideal for courses and programs in kinesiology, biomechanics, sports therapy, and related areas.
